Self-declared Type A personality Christina Martin Pendleton shares how she overcame her fear of failure to start her non-profit, LiKen, in spring 2020 at the beginning of the pandemic, which turned out to be mostly a positive force for her.

LiKen is an organization in the Boston metro area that helps adolescents, who are displaced due to their parents' struggles with substance use disorders. It provides comfort items to these at-risk kids in real time to encourage self-care and healthy coping strategies.
