In "Fired Up: How to Turn Your Spark into a Flame and Come Alive at Any Age," Shannon Watts shares insights and advice for women seeking purpose and fulfillment. Drawing from interviews with over 70 women from diverse backgrounds, Watts explores the formula for becoming a 'fire starter' by aligning abilities, desires, and values. She addresses the challenges women face in prioritizing their own aspirations amidst societal expectations and obligations. The book offers guidance on overcoming obstacles, navigating the 'messy middle' of change, and handling criticism. Watts encourages women to embrace their unique potential and take action towards creating a more authentic and fulfilling life. With practical advice and inspiring stories, "Fired Up" empowers women to identify their passions and ignite positive change in their communities and beyond.
In this book, Dr. Aliza Pressman provides a compassionate and reassuring approach to parenting, emphasizing that there is no one 'right' way to raise good humans. The book is centered around five core principles: Relationship, Reflection, Regulation, Rules, and Repair. These principles are designed to be adaptable and aligned with the parent's own values and their children's unique temperaments. Dr. Pressman encourages parents to practice these principles to build strong relationships, reflect on their own experiences, help their children regulate emotions, establish clear rules, and repair conflicts. The book is praised for its practical advice, warmth, and evidence-based recommendations, making it a valuable resource for parents at all stages of their parenting journey.
In today's episode I speak with activist Shannon Watts, founder of Moms Demand Action, about her new book 'Fired Up: How to Turn Your Spark Into a Flame and Come Alive at Any Age'.

We talk about the importance of taking small, consistent actions, identifying personal values and abilities, and building supportive communities. This episode serves as a reminder that purpose is always evolving and to live authentically and audaciously at every stage of life.
