Telling the stories that shape our community.
Prescott Woman Magazine is Northern Arizona’s premier women-focused media platform, dedicated to celebrating the voices, stories, and impact of the Prescott Quad Cities. What began as a lifestyle magazine has evolved into a dynamic, digital-forward brand rooted in storytelling, connection, and community uplift.
We spotlight the women who lead, create, serve, and inspire — entrepreneurs, artists, educators, advocates, and changemakers whose work shapes the place we call home. Through powerful profiles, thoughtful features, and meaningful conversations, we go beyond the surface to share stories that matter.
Today, our storytelling lives across multiple platforms. Through the She Spark Podcast, we amplify real conversations around leadership, purpose, growth, and connection. Through the Prescott Woman Awards, we honor women whose courage, compassion, and contributions make a lasting difference. And through Portraits with Purpose, we combine storytelling and service, using photography to give back and uplift local nonprofits.
More than a magazine, Prescott Woman is a movement — a trusted platform for women’s voices, a connector of community, and a catalyst for positive change. We believe stories have power, visibility creates opportunity, and when women rise, communities thrive.
Join us as we continue to celebrate Prescott — digitally, boldly, and with heart — one story, one spark, and one woman at a time.
Enlighted and Empowered: Understanding your Risk for Breast Cancer
One in eight women will develop breast cancer during their lifetimes. An estimated five to ten percent of those breast cancers will be linked to gene mutations passed through many generations of the family. Hormonal changes, lifestyle, and environmental factors also play a role in the development of breast cancer. This means breast cancer is likely caused by a complicated interaction of genetic makeup, the environment, and lifestyle.

Not An Ordinary Charity
United Way of Yavapai County (UWYC) is not an ordinary charity … it has been the go-to charity for residents and businesses across Yavapai County since 1987. With your help, UWYC can be the most impactful non-profit organization in our community.
By identifying community challenges, developing a plan to address those needs, and then empowering other non-profit organizations to solve those problems, UWYC helps strengthen the community and lift people out of poverty while also helping local businesses create a culture of giving.
UWYC raises money locally through payroll deduction, provides volunteer opportunities and hosts drives for schools, food banks, shelters, and more. Currently the organization grants funds to more than 30 different charitable programs countywide.

Preserving a Prescott Tradition
Nestled in the heart of downtown Prescott, Papa’s Italian has been a cherished community restaurant since 1991. Stepping inside, visitors are instantly transported to the Italian countryside, surrounded by walls embellished with beautiful murals, cozy seating tailored for families of all sizes, and traditional Italian aromas filling the air.
A Local Favorite
Ask some of Prescott’s old-timers to name their favorite local forest hangout, and you’re likely to hear about a place closer to Williams: White Horse Lake.
It’s among Arizona’s rare lakes with a campground in a relatively remote setting, so how can you go wrong?
“I think that’s why it calls to so many people,” related Kevin Lehto, recreation staff officer for the Kaibab National Forest’s south zone. “It brings that classic camping feel.”
Landscape Your Way to Paradise
Summer has arrived, and for plant enthusiasts in Prescott, it’s the perfect time to think about beautifying outdoor spaces. Whether contemplating a serene green haven or a vibrant flower garden, understanding the right plants for your landscape is key.
Food as Medicine—and Pleasure
For years, my 14-day detox program, starting the second week of January, was one of the most popular experiences I offered. I loved it, too; meeting weekly to see how everyone was doing, celebrating wins, working through struggles, and (because I can’t resist) sharing the science behind food-based detoxification.
But I always had a hidden agenda:
To show people the healing power of good food.
And maybe to help make “food-based detox” more a way of life.
A Story of Love and Forgiveness
Although The Honey Girl documentary tells the story of Holocaust survivor Esther Basch, who spent three and a half months in Auschwitz, the film takes a unique approach: it strives to inspire people to hold a more open place in their hearts.
Esther’s is a story of forgiveness, love, and resilience and that’s what co-Executive Producers Laurie McCampbell and Rachel Basch Turet (Esther’s daughter) said they want the The Honey Girl to convey.
“Mom’s story,” Rachel said during a recent interview, “is how to live with the tools of love and forgiveness to embrace your life.”
