Takeaways from Kelly and Maria:

• Stack your confidence, through encouragement from others and tap your experiences.
• Dive in.

Quote of the Week

“In finding your purpose, it's like mining. When you hit that strata you know it. You know that you found what really is your purpose and then you just need to mine right the way along that line. Most people never dig deep enough or long enough.”.- Lewis Pugh
