In Pursuit of Year Five.. with Tara Litmer

If you’ve ever attended Power to Pursue, you’ve felt her work, even if you’ve never seen her on stage. In this special behind-the-scenes episode, Rachel sits down with Tara Litmer... the right-hand woman, operational genius, and heart-forward “do-er” behind the Power to Pursue programming. From volunteer wrangler to run-of-show architect, Tara has been a pivotal force in building this community for nearly five years. A full-time special education teacher (entering year 27!) and longtime friend of Rachel’s, Tara shares how what started as “helping a friend for grahams” turned into co-building one of the region’s most powerful women’s conferences. Together, they reflect on: The evolution of Power to Pursue from passion project to movement What it really takes to produce a 900-woman summit The systems, spreadsheets, and soul behind the scenes Why volunteers return year after year The real emotions behind leadership, growth, and visibility What makes Year 5 different... and why this might be the year you finally attend This episode is funny, honest, tender, and deeply real. It’s about friendship. It’s about building something bigger than yourself. And it’s about the women who make the magic happen long before the doors open. 🎟️ Power to Pursue Year 5 is coming May 15.
