AUTHOR + EDITOR IN CHIEF OF WOMANS DAY

"As a journalist committed to one region for a few decades now, I'm increasingly impressed with its people of passion and purpose. McKenna stands out for those very reasons, and her book shares what many of us - who know her - already knew. Her passion and her "why" inspires others. It especially inspires those who've endured setbacks to know you are good enough, you are strong enough, and that your vulnerability actually makes you better. I love her spirit, her coaching mentality, and her gift to empower her audience - no matter how they find her."
