Episode notes

Maintaining rage over societal injustices can be overwhelming and unproductive. Instead, directing energy towards actionable change in one's community fosters a more positive existence. An attitude of 'cheerfully showing up' allows individuals to claim their space and opportunities, even in environments where they are not expected. This proactive mindset emphasizes personal capability and contributions over feelings of exclusion or lack. Cultivating such an approach can transform challenges into motivation, encouraging individuals to assert themselves and impact their surroundings positively.

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.
