Sometimes you need to feel the fear to move forward in your job.

This weekend I spoke at an amazing women's leadership retreat in central California. I have been here for two weeks, I met strong and lovely women, and I felt welcomed and at peace. I drove home, parked, and then headed off to the grocery store. And while I was standing in the aisle looking for yogurt, I began to get emotional.
