ATHENA MINI NO. 01 / SEPTEMBER 27, 2026
Wholeness Over Goodness
Featuring Elise Loehnen, Author & Podcast Host
What happens when we stop striving to be good and start embracing what it means to be whole?
For our inaugural Athena Mini, we gathered at the Missoula Public Library for an intimate morning of honest conversation, fresh perspectives, and meaningful connection with Elise Loehnen, author of On Our Best Behavior and Choosing Wholeness Over Goodness.
Together, we explored the expectations women are taught to live by, the pressure to be agreeable, productive, and endlessly giving, and what becomes possible when we begin to let those expectations go.
Over breakfast, conversation, and guided reflection, we made space to reconnect with ourselves and consider what we'd like to carry forward.
