Episode 136 – Fighting for Equality in the Equality State with Natalia Macker
In this week’s episode of the Jackson Hole Connection, Stephan chats with Natalia Macker. Natalia is Chairwoman of the Teton County Board of County Commissioners, she also works as Artistic Director of Off Square Theatre Company. Over the past decade, Natalia has made a huge impact in the Jackson arts community as well as our political landscape. Natalia is helping Wyoming stay true to its motto as the Equality State.
In this episode, Natalia shares how a vacation out to Jackson changed the trajectory of her life. She talks about how she unexpectedly got into politics after seeing the need for better representation in the Wyoming legislature. Natalia also discusses how her theater background has helped her when it comes to working in government. She shares her love for her two energetic boys, one of whom was born limb different. Natalia goes into the roller coaster of emotions she and her son Woody have faced with development and living with a limb difference. Stephan and Natalia also converse about the supportive Jackson community, but how with any smaller community it can be hard to connect with other families who are experiencing similar life experiences and obstacles.

Below is the poem from Napoleon Hill that Stephan mentioned in today’s episode:
FATHER FORGETS
Listen Son, I am saying this as you lie asleep, one little hand crumpled under your cheek
and blonde curls sticky over your wet forehead. I have broken into your room alone. Just a few minutes ago, as I sat reading my paper in the library, a stifling wave of remorse swept over me. Guilty, I came to your bedside.
There are things which I am thinking, son; I had been cross to you. I scolded you as you
