Beautiful Conversation

Laura Brown: I always like to ask women about ambition. Tell me about yours.

Viola Davis: When we speak of ambition as women, it should not just be relegated to work. The power to influence is in the smaller, personal moments. Sometimes with women, we feel like ambition means tough, and that gets mistaken for being mean-spirited.

Laura Brown : You can own your shit without being a bitch.

Viola Davis : The most important thing you can do is own your story. And then pass that story with all of its failures, all the joy, all the lessons learned, all the mistakes, pass it on to a young girl when you’re giving advice. Don’t filter it and channel it into your best moments. I believe when the last person dies who has a memory of you, that’s when you truly will be dead. So what do you want that memory to be?

Nature + Movement

Long walks in nature, which I’ve previously written about, has been key to cultivating my sense of inner calm. There is something very healing about being out in nature especially when combined with movement. I’ve walked hundreds of miles already this year. These walks have been soothing and provide a quiet time for me to think and process my feelings. Often creative solutions to issues I’m dealing with come up during my long walks. I’ve also been amazed at how walking in nature, even at just a leisurely pace, can produce immense physical benefits.
