014 - The Audacity to Follow Our Own Path

Some people might view audacity as the willingness to take bold risks, but sometimes, it can also mean being rude or having disrespectful behavior. Isn’t it interesting that this word can be seen as both a positive and negative quality?

In today’s conversation, we explore these moments in our journey where we found the need to be audacious in following our own path, without having that fear of being judged by the people around us.

What does it mean to have that sense of agency? How do we develop that type of connection to it? Join me as I go on this walk with my partners today, Lisa Hopkins, and a familiar voice from Episode 002, Tambre Leighn.
