8.05 | Calm and Grounded with Aree Bly

Episode Summary

Aree Bly joins host Meg McKeen for real talk - about expectations, and about what happens when you change the rules of the game. We share our experience in unpacking the beliefs we've had about what our personality indicates about our ability. An actuary by training and vocation, Aree is a remarkable thinker and together in this rich and vulnerable conversation, we reframe what it means to be boring, introverted, and we break down the notion of faking it till you make it. Ugh!
