"A great story is rooted in our experience, planted in the now, and reaches toward the future." - Laura Buzard

You don't have to live in Shoreline, Washington to get something out of this conversation, but you may want to move there after listening.

In this episode of What’s Your Story?, I’m sitting down in conversation with Kate Ledbetter, the inspiring founder of Destination Shoreline. Kate and I collaborate regularly, so this episode is a wonderful chance to catch up and talk about how her journey has evolved.

Together, we explore her life as a founder and a mother of two, looking at how her own mother deeply influences the story she is writing today. We talk honestly about what it takes to build a passion project for the community, and how to structure it so it stays sustainable for the future.

Using my Time Traveler framework (Past, Present, Future), we look at personal pictures, share a meaningful show-and-tell, and unpack the narratives behind her purpose-driven work.

We also look ahead, talking about what comes next in our legacies and futures, envisioning a world where we deeply connect with our neighbors and where community building extends into every block across the country.

Special Plot Twist: Stick around for the live, unexpected special delivery that arrived right in the middle of our recording that made the conversation extra exciting.
