  • Staying grounded, advocating for the voiceless, and running for SD State Office | Success Mindset with SD State Representative Kadyn Wittman

    After ranting about programs not offered to the unhoused, Kadyn Wittman was prompted by a friend to "be the one who changed it." At first, she pondered whether it was outrageous, or ingenious. Soon after, she researched how to be elected into a State office, met with past (and potential) candidates of District 15, and formulated her election agenda. By focusing on abundance, instead of scarcity, Kadyn started her work of providing abundant opportunities and resources to those without a seat at the table.

    • Her family, specifically the special circumstances for her brother and their parents' dedication to his needs
    • How Kadyn stays grounded (hint: gratefulness)
    • The moment she knew she needed to run for office (and the factors leading up to that decision)
    • Her work with unhoused folks in the Sioux Falls, South Dakota area
    • Her hopes for her term as District 15 State Representative
    • Advice to her younger self (or anyone looking to be in her shoes)
    • So much more!
