You're always capable of shifting, which plays into several of the things it was talking about." "Strength does not require hardness. You can be amazing and a leader, but that doesn't mean strength is a weakness. We all feel like we've got to be nice and cordial all the time, when really, you can still lead with compassion and empathy." "Rest versus ambition—those are the two polars. I really have to lean into self-care for myself, because it's not laziness. It's part of what we need to be better humans, not just better leaders, moms, or spouses."
