We often seek life's answers outside of ourselves. But the truth is, we'll never find them there. To truly understand our lives, we must look within. We must embrace fear and conflict.

Contrary to popular belief, conflict isn't a bad thing. In fact, it's natural in life.

When Jacci Perry-Ryan's father fell and broke a hip, she did what most adult children do. She hired a home healthcare agency, trusting that their caregivers had been thoroughly vetted. After all, they were taking care of vulnerable elder people.

Most of us are not aware of our own negative belief systems, but they greatly affect our everyday lives.

Male-dominated spaces often force non-promotable tasks onto women, where they're asked to do things that won't further their careers. Because of this, women are often conditioned to push past the point of being comfortable.

As high-achieving women, we have to ask ourselves, "What is the price I'm willing to pay to keep seeking external validation?"
