1. What did you want to be when you grew up?
2. What’s something you want to do that you haven't yet?
3. What's something you like about yourself?
4. What's something about yourself you'd like to change?
5. What's your favorite vacation spot?

It’s a quick, candid, and meaningful way to get to know the woman behind the wisdom. Don’t miss it!
