My Key Takeaways:
BE BOLD! - Grace shared important advice that young women should be bold in what they do. This really resonated with me. She encourages young women to not be shy or hold your ideas back as everyone has the power to make the world a better place.
Identify your strengths - Grace explained how understanding her own strengths, like decisiveness, and partnering with someone who complemented her weaknesses helped her thrive in her career. This is such valuable advice for teenage girls—knowing what you’re good at and leveraging it can set you up for success. It’s not about being perfect; it’s about understanding where you shine and seeking support where you need it.
Take care of yourself - Grace highlights the importance of looking after your body to accomplish your goals. She gained this wisdom from the inspiring people that she interviews on her podcast. I realised that this crucial advice is important to make a habit sooner rather than later. If you sleep, workout, eat good food - it will help you succeed.
