✨ 2026 REMARKABLE WOMAN OF THE YEAR ✨ With courage forged into purpose, we are honored to name Becca Stevens our 2026 Remarkable Woman of the Year.

As the founder of Thistle Farms, Becca turned a single act of compassion into a global movement for women’s freedom. For decades, she has created homes, meaningful jobs, and pathways to healing for survivors of trafficking and addiction — while launching nonprofits, mentoring leaders, and proving that love is powerful enough to rebuild lives and reshape systems.
What began with belief has grown into a worldwide model of dignity, hope, and transformation. Becca’s work reminds us that when women are given safety, opportunity, and community, everything changes.

🌍💛 This is what remarkable looks like.

Congratulations to our 2026 Remarkable Woman of the Year, Becca Stevens.

🥬✨ FINAL FINALIST REVEAL ✨🥬 From a single cabbage seed to a harvest of hope, meet Katie Stagliano, proof that big change can grow from the smallest beginning.

After one unexpected harvest showed her what was possible, Katie founded Katie’s Krops, sparking a youth‑powered movement that has grown 800,000+ pounds of fresh produce and served thousands of meals to communities in need.

By empowering young people to grow, give, and lead, Katie is fighting hunger while teaching the next generation how to nourish their communities — with compassion, responsibility, and purpose. 🌱💚

This is what hope looks like when it’s planted early.

✨ If you could say just one thing to your younger self… ✨
We asked our Remarkable Women that very question — and their answers stopped us in our tracks.

From reminders to trust yourself and take up space, to encouragement to keep going even when it’s hard, these women looked back with wisdom earned through resilience, heartache, courage, and hope.

💬 The result? Words that heal.�💬 Words that empower.�💬 Words every girl — and woman — needs to hear.

✨ This is one of those moments you couldn’t script if you tried. ✨

Two Remarkable Women. Two different corners of the country. And a friendship reunited 45 years later, thanks to this incredible journey.

Beth Hassett of Sacramento was scrolling through the list of Remarkable Women when she stopped and thought… wait… do I know her?

The name that jumped out? Pam Krigbaum of Myrtle Beach.

Beth reached out and just like that, the pieces fell into place.

They graduated together in 1981, went their separate ways, and hadn’t seen each other since high school.

“I can’t believe she’s in California and I’m in South Carolina and after 45 years, this amazing opportunity is bringing us back together,” Pam shared.

Same graduating class. Same memories. Different lives.
And now, the same Remarkable Women experience. 💖

Is this a Remarkable Women first? You bet.
And is it unforgettable? Absolutely.

Sometimes this journey is about celebration, sometimes it’s about connection…and sometimes, it’s about finding your way back to someone who knew you way back when. ✨
