In this inspiring episode, Colette takes us back to her childhood growing up in the country and recalls a core memory that shaped her outlook on life. She shares how mending fences in the cold winters, herding runaway animals, and embracing responsibilities taught her valuable life lessons. These experiences pushed her to do things she didn't want to do and instilled in her the importance of doing a job well the first time around.
Colette encourages us to recognize that even though it may not feel good in the moment, these challenging experiences can lead to personal growth and positive change.
