Just the right read at the right moment. I went down the rabbit hole of all things Elle Griffin afterward. She’s a modern sage and a much needed breath of fresh air.

Definitely highlight books in my kindle. When I read books from the library, I do take notes in a word document because I want to refer back to them at some point. I keep a list of books I've read year by year and go back to them some time to remind myself of the lessons I've learned from them.

This was probably my favorite line of the interview "I've never struggled with my confidence until I decided to write my newsletter for a living, then I started second-guessing everything I wrote, wondering if it was good enough." Writing is a very real second guessing activity!

That's so amazing that you keep such good notes! Unless I'm about to interview someone, I'm a terrible note taker!! And, yes, writing is definitely all about second guessing!

That Aristotle quote is gold (too)! And my fav right now is a denim jumpsuit.

Thanks for the great interview. :)

I love that gold power suit! I wonder if those rays of sun shining down on Elle in the photo appear whenever she puts it on?

I love it, too! I could see you in one! Hah, I wonder!! Wouldn't be surprised. Now I definitely need one!

Elle has been an inspiration to me for three years. But I will probably never wear a gold power suit. 🤓

Love that new-to-me Aristotle quote. And I love my old, irreplaceable cashmere pants, not in fashion for a while. Their season has arrived.
