• Finding passion in grocery during the pandemic by seeing how e-commerce technology helped essential workers serve communities safely
• Setting firm boundaries and asking for help to balance professional responsibilities with family priorities
• Addressing women's leadership challenges including data bias and the tendency to over-internalize negative feedback
