In a time where so much feels so scary and out of our control, I really appreciated this conversation with Kathy. Her wisdom reminded me of the agency we all have to choose happiness. We have the power to transform ourselves and also the power to transform our world.

I hope this conversation encourages you to step boldly into the transitions in your own life. There’s a new you waiting, and a new world waiting for us all. 💖
