Our October WLN Book Club pick is The Crazies by Amy Gamerman. It’s a story of cattlemen, wind energy, land, power and a changing West, all centered right here in Montana.
It feels like the perfect book to settle into this fall… and an even better one to gather around a table and talk about.

Katie Beall is a breast cancer survivor, oncology advocate and communications leader with 15+ years of experience in public affairs, healthcare communications, advocacy and policy.
Diagnosed with cancer at 34, Katie experienced firsthand the challenges of navigating healthcare and insurance—including having critical care denied by insurance. While still in treatment, she built a coalition of patients, survivors, providers and advocates that helped pass SB 516, requiring insurance coverage for fertility preservation for cancer patients. The law took effect January 1, 2024. Now, after a year of treatment and three years into survivorship, she is ignited to make change happen so people navigating cancer can access the care, healing and community they need, regardless of the ways systems fail or seem immovable. Change is always possible.
Katie has spoken nationally on oncology policy and advocacy. She also serves on the advisory board for Cancer Support Community Montana-Helena and is excited to expand in-person support to Helena.
She is grateful to call quirky, charming, beautiful Helena home. Katie’s a proud daughter, sister and aunt with an amazing partner, two good dogs and finds peace and energy in the mountains.

Join Women’s Leadership Network Helena for our September Lunch & Learn: Your Brain on Change, presented by Rachael Bohns, CCMP™, Organizational Change Management Practitioner.
We’re digging into the biology behind how our brains respond to change, why resistance happens and, most importantly, what we can actually do about it.
You’ll leave with practical strategies to:
Better understand how your brain responds to change
Navigate change more effectively and reduce resistance
Communicate with greater awareness to better support yourself and others
Whether you’re leading change at work, navigating it in your personal life, or currently wondering WHY IS EVERYONE LOSING THEIR MINDS?, this conversation is for you.
