**READING | The Courage Gap: 5 Steps to Braver Action by Dr. Margie Warrell: **During our February episode of the WPLN *Tips from the Trail *podcast, WPLN Board Vice Chair Valerie Dowling recommended [this book](https://www.amazon.com/Courage-Gap-Steps-Braver-Action/dp/1523007249) as a great resource for women considering leadership.

**WATCHING | *The Hunting Wives* on Netflix: **This Netflix drama stars Brittany Snow and Malin Akerman, and [it's the television equivalent](https://www.netflix.com/title/82013700) of the perfect summer beach read.

**LISTENING TO | *Good Hang with Amy Poehler* podcast: **This podcast came highly recommended to WPLN Social Media Manager Sarah Quinlan by her friends, so [we had to give it a listen](https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/good-hang-with-amy-poehler/id1795483480)!

**EXCITED FOR | WPLN's 2025-2026 Fellowship for Nonprofit Management! **We are excited to announce the newest cohort of our WPLN Fellowship for Nonprofit Management program in the coming weeks — stay tuned!
