Empowered Book Club

A Community for Reflection, Growth & Connection

Welcome to the Empowered Book Club, a space where books spark conversation, ideas flow freely, and connection thrives. This is a low-pressure, inclusive gathering where you’re encouraged to engage at your own pace—whether you've read every page or just want to listen in and absorb the discussion.


We explore transformative books that challenge perspectives, inspire personal growth, and invite meaningful dialogue. Whether you’re joining us in person at the Heartwork House in Kansas City or tuning in virtually, you’ll find a welcoming and thoughtful community to share this journey with.

Donations Support the Heartwork House – Contributions help sustain this beautiful space for connection and growth.
