RSS Feed Ep.227 Instead of Complaining...(Carrie Napiorkowski Great Neighbor and Community Advocate)
Guest:
Carrie Napiorkowski is a Dripping Springs local who doesn’t just live in the Hill Country, she fights for it. She’s a licensed aesthetic educator with a long track record in the skincare world, but around here, she’s just as well known for speaking up when it matters. Carrie has been a vocal advocate on issues impacting the community—from development concerns to protecting displaced citizens and preserving the character of Dripping Springs. She’s not afraid to challenge the status quo, ask tough questions, and push for accountability when growth starts to outpace common sense. She’s the kind of person who shows up when things get complicated—and stays in the fight long after most people head home. Thoughtful, direct, and deeply invested in the future of the Hill Country, Carrie brings a perspective that’s equal parts passion and practicality.
We find common ground on the kind of issues most people just shout past each other about. This episode is a real example of how neighbors with different perspectives can come together and actually move the needle where it matters.
