On , it felt important for me to share this conversation again.
There are moments in our lives that change us forever. I’ve always believed in service and showing up for others, but it wasn’t until my husband Rod was diagnosed with cancer that I truly understood the power of community and presence. The waiting rooms, the uncertainty, the quiet fear—no one should have to carry those moments alone.
I’m resharing this because I know how isolating this journey can feel. If you or someone you love is navigating cancer right now, I want you to know you are not alone. Community matters. Being seen matters. Showing up for one another matters.
Thank you, , for this meaningful conversation about the caring power of community.
If this resonates, I hope it reminds you that support can come in many forms and that reaching out is not a weakness, but an act of courage.

In Minnesota right now, many families and communities are living through profound fear and uncertainty as daily life feels increasingly fragile. In moments like this, community is not an abstract idea. It is something people build together through continued presence and by showing up for one another.
As a person of faith, I believe God shows up most clearly through people. Through neighbors who check in. Through faith communities that open their doors. Through mutual aid, local organizations, and everyday acts that remind people they are not alone.
In times of uncertainty, community is what holds people together when things feel brittle. It is where compassion takes shape. It is where dignity and humanity are protected. It is where love becomes visible through action.
I am witnessing people choose connection over isolation and care over fear.
That matters. It reflects the deepest teachings of my faith and the values I have always worked to live by.
Let us remember that community is not something we talk about. It is something we practice. And it is often where God’s grace is felt most strongly.
As we move into 2026, one thing is clear: we are living in an age of chaos and unpredictability.
Yet, within this turbulence lies an extraordinary opportunity—to lead in new ways. And that gives me a great deal of hope for our future.
It was an honor to join United Nations Under‑Secretary‑General Guy Ryder in conversation last week at UN Headquarters. Together, we explored how leaders can make sense of our complex, rapidly changing world and guide their organizations and communities toward greater resilience and hope.
I drew on experiences from my own professional journey, along with insights from my recent co‑authored book, Navigating the Age of Chaos.

Leadership is about having the courage to raise your hand and say, I need help. Or, even, I need to take a step back.
As leaders, our responsibility is to create environments where employees can care for themselves—to give them the space and trust to make decisions that work best for their lives.
I spent years in the military and as a criminal federal prosecutor, so I can be hardcore. My mantra used to be: You don’t ever cry in front of people.
And yet, my team has seen me break down when my dad was in the hospital. Because we don’t leave our humanity at the door—we bring our whole selves to the office.
Leadership requires recognizing that reality, honoring it, and building cultures that are safe and braves spaces, grounded in care.
