Episode notes

Finding alignment with a mission, especially when feeling like an outsider, involves recognizing and adapting to unique needs and expectations. It is essential to ask the necessary questions, even if they challenge the norm, to navigate the situation effectively. The concept of persistence goes beyond mere determination; it encompasses adaptability and an understanding that plans often deviate from initial expectations. Successful persistence requires flexibility, a readiness to embrace setbacks, and a willingness to adjust one's approach to overcome obstacles. This adaptability is crucial in achieving one's goals while remaining aligned with the overall mission.

How do you find your way in a world where even when you do everything right, the odds keep getting stacked against you? My guest today, Cady Coleman, shares how she navigated the male-dominated fields of science, the Air Force, and NASA, breaking down barriers with tenacity and grace.

From her time on the International Space Station to the release of her first book, Sharing Space, Cady’s story is a powerful reminder of the importance of mission, adaptability, and the unwavering belief in one’s potential, even when the world around you says otherwise.
