I offer up a memory, a reminiscence of a particular time in my life when I decided to call out my fear - and it worked! It changed my life, actually. It helped me to be a braver person.

Here it is, our first offering of just the right thing for those real-life heroines, young and old, in your lives. When you want to know about what makes a Real-Life Heroine happy, it works to ask them – so I did.

Here are the ideas my team and I put together and some from the women i...

Dear Readers,
