Here are her Key Takeaways:

1. So many things are out of our control, but those that our in our control we should at least attempt to do - it may not be a success, but that's also a part of the process. 
2. So many of the stories we tell ourselves originate from birth or old stories. They are stories about someone else's ideas of what we could be or should be. There is less time to waste when we are in midlife. It becomes more important to define who we are.
3. We have many drafts and chapters in our lives that we are always updating. Listening to negative stories about ourselves will silo us to the point where we feel we can really only do one thing, which is totally not true. 
4. We need a tribe who tell us that "you've got this - your success is our success" - because if you're doing it we know that there is a possibility for us
5. Many women do not know how to ask - we minimize our ask when people actually want to share their expertise. The ask is a really important thing. 
6. There is nothing that will push you as much as adversity. Either its going to kill you or its going to reinvent you.
7. We often find ourselves saying yes to things that we don't have time for or even care about. We need to learn to be really direct in the way we say no.
8. Ideas have a way of being contagious - people can have the same idea
