Nonprofit leadership is filled with unknowns—funding gaps, shifting community needs, board questions, and so many moments when answers aren’t clear, but are still demanded of us. Living the Question explores how we nonprofit leaders are navigating ambiguity, making impossible decisions, and finding meaning in the mess—without losing ourselves in the process.

Through personal stories from frontline leaders, Sara Hudson asks how we survive the hardest parts of this work alone—and how we can keep going together amid perpetual uncertainty.
