And that’s a wrap (with a bow on it!)  Gabrielle, Jacinda and Adriana share personal highlights from Season 6 - filled with lots of powerful collisions, varying lived experiences and embracing the power of the pivot. Including pivoting into our final episode, with Wendy Taccetta and Sonia Murray.

Wendy and Sonia bring a powerful episode sharing their journey and stories of the importance of owning your own personal operational excellence, while paying it forward. Through the power of community, vulnerability, and fearlessness these ladies share how they have achieved many professional wins, while managing all the challenges and joys life brings with perseverance. 

“I always embrace challenges. Sometimes when I do something I'm like, Oh wow, I did that. But I know I can do it.” -Sonia Murray

“If you're living your life fully, you're gonna make mistakes, and you're gonna fall down. Falling down, doesn't matter. It's getting up.” -Wendy Taccetta

“I try to challenge myself to be in rooms where the information is new, the perspective is different, where I expect someone to disagree with me. Because I find that it helps me either clarify what I believe, or it expands what I know to be true.” -Wendy Taccetta

 

“We need to be curious. We need to be learning from each other. We need to be inspired by this next generation. Not threatened by it. We still need to learn from our elders. We need to be curious about each other. And if everyone you know thinks the way you think, you are not in the right ones.” -Wendy Taccetta
