Lisa discusses how this shift in mindset has influenced her approach to running her business, parenting, and nurturing relationships with family and friends. She encourages listeners to challenge the either-or mindset and embrace the power of both-and thinking.

To engage in personal growth and development, Lisa invites you to delve into the qualities of curiosity and candor, emphasizing how they contribute to finding a middle ground. She highlights the how courage and humility are underneath these practices and are the key to fostering both/and thinking.
