We often look to business gurus, leadership coaches and self-help books for life's most profound lessons. But sometimes, the most powerful insights come from unexpected teachers—like my 19-year-old daughter, Taya.

Watching her navigate early adulthood with remarkable intentionality has been nothing short of revolutionary for me. Her approach to life challenges everything my generation was taught about success, relationships, and self-worth. Today, I’m sharing the eight lessons that have fundamentally shifted how I show up in both business and life—and they might just do the same for you: 

• Lesson 1: Embrace Self-Care Without Guilt
• Lesson 2: The Joy of Rest
• Lesson 3: Love Unconditionally
• Lesson 4: Say No First
• Lesson 5: Finding Your People
• Lesson 6: Being Independently You
• Lesson 7: Ask for What You Want
• Lesson 8: Go for What You Want

So here’s the challenge I’m throwing out to you: Which of these nuggets of wisdom resonates most with you? Pick one and try it out. See where it takes you. And let’s keep the conversation going—I’d love to hear what the younger generation has taught you, so share it with me on social media. Until next time, be kind to yourself, say “no” when it matters, and go after the life you want.
