She talks about the importance of starting somewhere with the right intention and how things come together as we go along. She explains how this works - across countries, in multiple locations. How the model of engagement doesn’t require any specific skillset and hence how people of all ages come together and make it more like a community event, with focus on having fun together. She talks about how setting aside just 2 hours a week can create so much impact.
We move on to talking about perfection and how we tend to be harsh on ourselves. And finally, she shares a very interesting message with all women.
