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.

Leading with Purpose: Jodi Mullins’ Commitment to Community and Service
In a field where strength, compassion, and resilience must coexist, Jodi Mullins has built a career defined by service, perseverance, and a deep commitment to her community. As the Police Community Services Supervisor for the Prescott Valley Police Department, Jodi brings decades of experience and a heart for helping others into every aspect of her work.

Rise Above the Clouds staff measure these qualities using both observational and scientific methods (including voluntary cortisol testing) to see how safe, joyful experiences can rewire the brain and help heal trauma.

The Future of Homeownership is Female
In a departure from tradition, the long-held notion of women as solely homemakers is being turned on its head as the number of women homebuyers has surged in recent years. Traditionally, the narrative surrounding homebuyers has revolved around married couples or single men, leaving women’s purchasing influence primarily overlooked and undervalued. But today’s data paints a different picture, with single women being surpassed only by married couples as the leading purchasers of homes. In 2024, single females are taking control and realizing their dreams of homeownership.
