What three “gifts” would you give a 20-something if you were a “Forty-Godmother”? 40-something women share three things to help a 20-something get a head start on the confidence to make decisions that are right for themselves. No more woulda, coulda, shoulda.
1. Find a source of confidence within yourself. As you search for it use a mantra as a proxy. Something to say to yourself every time you need to summon strength.
2. A therapist. No stigma about it. You will be way ahead of your contemporaries that don’t (and it will help with gift #1, confidence).
3. Don’t worry about fitting a part. You can only fail when you are pretending to be someone you are not.
