This past summer I came across a video of The Conversation with Amanda de Cadenet posted on Youtube. The interviews are already a few years old, but the content is still extraordinary.

I find myself watching and re-watching these interviews every time I need a little motivation to be productive or a little inspiration to push me further towards becoming the woman I want to be. I adore the positive message behind these interviews. They allow honest talk between women, like you would have with your best girl friends, but then allow for deeper context which is awe-inspiring. They are non-judgmental conversations and stories of successful, authentic women.

My favorite part of the videos is at the end when she asks a series of questions to each interviewee and then goes to the street to ask real women those same questions. There is one in particular in which she asks, “What advice would you give to your 14-year-old self?” A powerful question, with equally powerful responses.

This interview series is soulful and thought-provoking. I always leave with a new perspective of my own life and my future, as well as, a deeper respect for many celebrities I didn’t know much about. Jane Fonda- you have my heart!

I so encourage anyone looking for a bit of inspiration or perspective to delve into these videos as a start to your week.

Happy Monday!
