Tell Your Friends!
Leslie and Mindi are courageously telling their truths, and in doing so are creating space for other women so pause and consider their own truths, and whether the life they are leading is authentically their own. As an older woman, I admire them and inspired by them, and honestly wish I had heard their words when I was in my 30s. The encouragement they offer other women to recognize when it’s time to redirect, and the support they offer during the struggle is a rare and precious thing.
Raw. Honest. Real.
I feel like I’m sitting in on a conversation with my two best friends. Mindi and Leslie discuss things that are deep and might not be things you would share with others, but should. Their realness makes me feel like I’m not alone. I can’t wait for more episodes!!
