REFLECTION QUESTION

What changes could you make in your life and day-to-day routines to achieve greater autonomy and fulfillment?

FROM Tracy Frederick:

“I see all these women who are ‘leaning in.’ You're supposed to be able to be super successful. And the truth is, you can't do it all. And I think part of it was the culture I grew up in, telling you that you could, and you were a failure if you didn't or if you complained about it. So once my eyes became open to the fact that that wasn't true – and in fact, nobody was benefiting from that message – now I feel really strongly about impacting other women that are in that place, and hopefully before there are health consequences to burning the candle at both ends.” - Tracy Frederick

“When you're a trial attorney, you are literally always waiting for something to go wrong. You're predicting what's gonna go wrong, because you need to be ready for that. And that's what makes you a great lawyer. When you go through life doing that, which I was doing, you're always looking at the negative. What's gonna go wrong? Now I'm finding myself saying, what's gonna go right? What is going right? And I'm so much happier doing that.” - Tracy Frederick

FROM Karolina Rzadkowolska:

“If our jobs aren't able to give us emotional health, then how effective can we really be as a society? And I think this is something that's really going to change in the next century – recognizing that our current structures don't always allow for good emotional health.” - Karolina Rzadkowolska
