"Some young girls start out with challenges that make their dreams seem almost impossible. But girls who grow into women of renown never let their dreams turn into fantasies. They learn how to push past their insecurities, find their voice, become whole, and pivot through some of the biggest challenges of their lives. This is today’s story. Here we go on another steady but challenging ride through the life journey of another F50Woman."

We Talk About…

·       Effects of early speech and hearing challenges

·       The importance of boundaries when speaking publicly

·       Leadership outside of your wheelhouse

·       What it felt like when the call came in from the Lt Governor

·       Struggles with Identity and “…finding answers to myself”

·       Overcoming the opposite poles of self-doubt and drive

Advice for Young Women: Speak up, ask for help, tell someone you don’t understand

Quotes She Served Up:

“Can I be enough for everybody?”

“You can have it all, but not at the same time”

What Changed Everything: Unexpected Loss

Why does evil spread faster than love:

The root of hatred is real deep wounds. Evil comes out of hurt. People don’t know any other way to reconcile the hurt, so they lash back with hate.
