We chat about their friendship experiences and I learn a thing or two along the way.  As Millennial and Gen Z women, they deal with external factors that didn't exist when I was their age. I expected more differences than similarities, but the themes of friendship are common across generations. I confess to experiencing mixed emotions during our conversation, but I'm proud of my daughters for knowing who they are and their no BS attitudes.

A growth mindset leads you to believe you can develop and learn.

    This is "Finding Wisdom" Part II.  Finding wisdom in a world of uncertainty, knowledge and beliefs are being put to the test in new ways we have not yet faced in today's society.  Is this wisdom and faith setting you up for where you see yourself in the future or are you currently making adjustments?  Who do you want to be when you grow up?  How do you get there?  We all have different life experiences that have led us down different paths but ultimately it is up to us to choose where we pull our wisdom from and decide what direction we are headed for our life goals. With the world spinning so fast let's take a minute to slow down and process if this is where we thought we would be on our wisdom and faith journey.  Listen in as Joy moderates and Karli and Andi join her to share where they are on the finding wisdom journey. We are committed to keeping episodes under 30-minutes, so This is Finding Wisdom is divided into two episodes.
