Even though she knows the subject matter, Lindy feels imposter syndrome but realizes she's imposing that on herself.  She has had to learn to trust herself when in the room, having those conversations.

Ben is an IT Functional Analyst by day and your friendly neighborhood Haiku poet by night!  His lesson learned is...If you want to get good at something, you're going to have to put a lot into it, so you have to find that thing that you just can't get enough of.

Janessa Williams, a talented artist known as @color_tripz on Instagram, shared her lessons learned:

• Be patient, it's ok to be hungry, but don't rush the process
• Take time for yourself, it's very important to unplug and recharge, and
• Spend time with the ones you love

Adrienne shares that we have so much more in common than we differ...we have to value, respect and honor those differences and not try to make them NOT different, but to welcome open conversation to understand them.  With that we can see that we are stronger because of our differences, not weaker.

There is so much more that can be interesting about a person than just the color of their skin.  The important thing Joyce wants you to remember is that we are all people at the end of the day, trying to do our best, figure things out, wanting to feel safe, like somebody cares, or just that we matter.  

Lisa shares that it is important to be adaptable and flexible...let go of what and how you think things should be, have an open mind and don't be afraid of change.  

Mike's lessons learned are...

• Always learn something new, try something new...that's how you learn about yourself.  You'll never expand your horizon if you stay in the same shell all the time.
• Make that connection to what you love
• We have to work together to focus more on what we have in common.

Bryan's lessons learned are to be patient, think positive and give people the benefit of the doubt.

I'm so excited to usher this podcast into a new year.  It's been heartwarming and enlightening to have these conversations and to have the privilege of sharing their journeys with you.   I hope you continue to enjoy listening.  So don't forget to share, follow, like and comment.   See you back here next Wednesday.

Debbrie's lessons...

• When you have siblings that pave the way, they set the example for you as well.  You can call on them and be confident that they are going to give you good, sound advice.
• It's never too late to try something new, you just cannot be afraid
