Quotes
-
“I don’t feel any need to plan out a retirement. I don’t feel any need to slow down. I feel like what I have to offer is still coming, I don’t think that work has been done.” (15:57 – Nada)
-
“I think women over 40, we’re kind of the most boring diversity issue right now. No one really wants to tackle age, and no one wants to tackle women in menopause. It’s not sexy.” (16:47 – Nada)
-
“I might need to work until I’m 70. Retirement age is changing; we’re living longer. That means we have to have more money to last us longer in retirement. So we have to start to tackle these things for working women and non-working women in this midlife stage.” (20:24 – Nada)
-
“If we can teach women in this demographic in this stage of life, if we can give them the tools they need to go out and do the things they’re each respectively called to do, half the world’s problems will be taken care of. This isn’t a time to be stepping back, it’s a time to be stepping up.” (24:08 – Nada)
-
“It may have looked like I was living the dream, but just be really clear about what that dream looks like.” (43:12 – Nada)
-
“Just start. By the time you iterate for all the changes that you will need to make, because it’s usually not exactly what you, when you started, it usually doesn’t end up being exactly what it was in the beginning, right? You need to make room for all those iterations. You will have moved the needle so much just by starting. You will surprise yourself.” (47:57 – Nada)
