In the second part of their discussion, Danielle and Lindsay Boccardo share stories of formative experiences that have influenced who they are and how they think today. 

While Lindsay faced challenges as the youngest person in the room during her early career and worried that she didn’t belong, Danielle felt like an outlier as one of the oldest people in her graduate program. But we learn that, with the right mindset, unique or unusual qualities can actually work in your favor.  

Lindsay also emphasizes the value of adopting confidence from others and how it can help you push past fear and hesitation until that confidence becomes your own. And, she shares how the doors of communication can swing wide open when you reflect back to others how they show up for you.

It’s a really fun and smart discussion between two friends who personify support and connection.

Journaling can be a life-changing tool. Grab a pen and put your thoughts on paper—you might be amazed by how much it helps. But, if you’re having trouble getting started or sorting out your thoughts, consider getting a copy of the Treasured Journal. The Treasured Journal includes questions, prompts, and sentence stems to help you make sense of what you’re feeling. You can get the journal and its companion meditation guide at this link:
