I am a 64 year old woman, I lost my Husband 7 months ago and I am so glad that I read Abby's book twice before I had to go through this loss and the pandemic! Being totally alone for the first time in my life... made me feel like I had to ask "give me the fucking ball".
I am a 65 year old woman who is still making mistakes and still learning from them. This interview has helped me on my path in many ways. THANK YOU young people for the reminders and the insights.
67.5 years wise. and launching my own channel. Scary ..but This share Rocked me to the river!!
65 is not old, no matter the age life experiences and learning is life long journey ~ young and old people can give this type of advice
This is sweet.
41:56 True leadership is to let go and see your leadership flourish in other people. I’ve worked hard, achieved my dream, taught & lead countless students. I know I’ve impacted many lives & love doing that. But now I find myself in a life transition that is benching me from what I’ve been doing the way I’ve been doing it....it’s no longer working. Yet, I struggle to let it go, move on, & reinvent my wheel. Dream a new dream. How do I let go of something I thought defined me? I’m scared what I worked so hard at will disappear. So, thank you 🙏 for the reminder that my leadership lives on in those people whose lives I touched. Perhaps I can be free to dream a new dream......🙏🙏🙏⭐️⭐️⭐️💙💙💙
Oh that quote!!! "It's not our fault but it's our responsibility to solve". SO MANY things in life are like this. Yes!!! Inspiring and so helpful interview. Thank you!
YES! Loved that one 🙂
🤚🏼👊🏼😃❤️ Hi Marie and Abby! Great interview. As a father of a daughter it’s great to see a diversity of role models available for my Daisy. Much appreciation and love. Sending big B School smiles, good vibes, and high fives. Namaste Knuckles 🙏🏼☮️
Thank you for sharing our work and world with Daisy. We agree with you, that's for sure. xo - Team Forleo
Wow! Thank you for sharing your knowledge and experience with us! I can’t wait to watch this with my 15 year old daughter! She LOVES soccer and is unable to play her Freshman year in high school because she transferred mid-year. But she is practicing with the team and is cheering them on and leading from the bench! Because it’s a small school, they pulled girls in who would have never played soccer. My daughter is constantly lifting them up, helping them learn the skills they need and she’s showing up to every practice and game even though she can’t play and I am so proud of her! She’s going to love this book! Thank you!
I loved every minute! My great grandmother marched on State St. for women’s right to vote.... bless her fortitude. 2020 is the 100th anniversary....we need to speak out about this and vote with our integrity for a president with integrity and a cabinet for the people. VOTE, it is something to celebrate.
We
Vote with integrity FOR integrity. 2020 is the 100th anniversary for women’s right to vote. Proudly vote for a president with integrity.
I loved the whole thing! Especially the part about how it's okay to fail.. How it's okay to ask for what you want! And my fav part was when Abby so spontaneously read the beginning to her book. I could feel a message that needed to be spread for next generations run through from her soul into her physical body and straight into words flowing out of her mouth like the voice of an ancient story teller... golden! Thank you both so much for being you.
OMG, this was badass indeed. I'm in love with her. This quote had me cheer out loud: "Leader is not a title that the world gives to you. It's an offering that you give to the world." Yay!!!!!!!! Thank you! I won't be so shy about calling myself a leader anymore. I can put myself on the line for those who don't feel as strong as I do - that's what makes me a leader.
I loved that bit too! 💪
37:57 This. That moment when you learn you can demand what you want. “For a woman demand and get what she wanted and go actually do something with it”. And follow through. Uffff Im in my twenties and learning to do this. Thank you amazing conversation!
Same same!!!
Well first Abby has earned a spot on my wall of quotes! Second...the entire view was book drop! Third, I wrote down about 15 quotes that were life changing !!
Marie...outstanding !!! Thank you for sharing your guest with us ! I appreciate you #sharing
What she said about labels is so spot on! Labels are tools of oppression, let's do ourselves a favor and let them go. We are more than who we sleep with, what we do for a living, our age and our gender. We are here to let authentic expression shine through us!
I loved everything about this shared experience. Powerful message to all of us. A reminder to follow our gut and our greatness - the one that each of us posses. About the love of money...I honestly don't understand people who think of money any other way than Freedom. You can help many more people by having money, than without. Even Mother Teresa needed money to help the poor. People who hate money, who think that loving money is greedy, and/or evil have a lot to learn about what money is and the infinite abundance of it. Hating money, or people with money is a sure way to keep it out of your life. When you are poor, you need to struggle to survive and helping others feels like an impossible chore, you don't have time, nor money to help people in need. It is the way we all have been programmed to believe. It is time to let it go, it doesn't serve us. I think you got the message. You all know that we all come into this world with the same 24 hours to follow your own dreams, wishes, and wants in life. What you do with it is up to you.
Wow! This was great. I just picked up the audiobook of Abby’s book. I just retired (early) from a land management field working for gov’t, and “grateful” I had the opportunity and experience. But it wasn’t all a bed of roses. I’ll have to think about and digest what was said here and maybe will share what was most meaningful to me, and how I might apply it moving forward as I proceed with the next chapter. Thank you.
Woooooow. Mind blown.
Leadership is not a position to earn. It's an inherent power to CLAIM!!!!!!!!
I love it when Abby touches on being grateful, I always feel this way! I'm like...yes I feel grateful but there's more to this!!! I love y'all!!!
Leadership is how you flourish to other people even when you are not there, leadership is a legacy
This made my brain explode about 50 times love you both off to buy this book 💁🏼♀️💁🏼♀️
Amazing episode...As a former pro soccer player myself (though not anywhere close to your level Abby) I can relate so much to your message. The most difficult part for me -still today, is figuring out who I am when not the 'soccer player' and figuring out how to express my true self in 'real life' the way I was able to on the 'soccer field'. I really admire you Abby for having found a way to do so for the highest good of all. I can't wait to get myself a copy of this book💝 Love you both and all the magic you share ❤❤❤❤❤⭐
Woah !!! I haven't watched Marie TV in ages, and this is the 1st in a while, and Im loving every part of this conversation !!!
Powerful interview. I'm so glad I clicked on it; didn't realize who she was until she mentioned Glennon but I'm now a huge fan of Abby and her work, as well. I'll be buying the book, of course, but will also be turning others - including the men in my life - onto this. Her words are profoundly important, as well as the topics you both touched on, and I know this video and her book will make a big impact on how girls feel about themselves, to move forward in their lives unafraid, unashamed, with boldness and confidence. With love, admiration, and respect: Thank you both for all you are doing here.
Also, Abby just delivered one of the best interviews I’ve heard in a long time. Amazing! Thank you so much for your presence & wise perspective. I hope to hear more from you in the future!
This was soul shaking for me. I am the hero in my own life and I help other people to do the same. It inspired me to take it up a notch. I am not small and I should not play it small. Serving the world.
A great interview! thank you, Marie for having Abby on your show. What powerful perspectives! Loved it, so many nuggets of wisdom to take away!
I love this interview and Abby is a hero in my book, she encouraged me after going through a bad time today with Male dominated work environment. I gained such insight on how I want to Demand my rights! Thank you from the bottom of my heart! Both you ladies inspire me! I'm getting her book and going to for my daughter & granddaughter! Love you!💜💜✌😊
Reading your book “Wolfpack”. Awesome! Move forward. We need more like you
Married women weren't even allowed to keep working prior to the 1960s..we have come along way ..Its a new learning for women and men to reach
Omg! I love this interview. You are both so great, I didn’t know Abby before but I instantly became interested in the wise words. Thank you 🙏 💞 for being SO brave and sharing this with us.
Same here. It’s been awhile. This was spot on. Some of Amy’s comments need to be on a Tee!!
Great episode! Loved the wisdom tidbits about supporting others' successes instead of falling into the scarcity mindset trap. Will def check out the book!
We LEARN the MOST from our Difficult situations 💚💚💚
Excellent! Buying this book for my sons and the ladies in their lives👍🏻❣️
as I am preparing myself for B-school next year I do absorb all the content like a spong.... From having a fear of not following the right path....
NOW I did find an idea that will help me to join many of my dreams in one.... fear- GONE...
I have never grown so much in such a short period of time... I take inspiration from you Marie and your guests as well.
I am so happy and grateful.
thank you
We're so honored to have you in our community and we're cheering you on! - Team Forleo
I feel like this episode just changed my life! Yesterday I felt so stuck in a rut of oppression.. and today I now see that it is MYSELF that's holding me there. There's no need to break the glass ceiling, go build your own damn house. Thank you ♥️
Yes girl!!! 💪
Omg this was probably my fav Marie TV episode of all time! 💘 Abby is my spirit animal (well actually TBH a WOLF is #truth!) and it’s totally ignited me! Wondering if the book is in audio format... 🤔
What was that??? One of the best interviews ever...so much passion...so much truth....getting the book right now. Sending lots of love
What a balanced, grounded, intelligent, well-spoken woman Abby is. Thanks for this.
A year later. I love what Abby said, the opposite of patriarchy is not matriarchy.....
Amazing and so inspiring!!! I was hooked through the whole interview and gonna buy the book now ✅
There are lots of different kinds of"successful" women. Some people stay on the path and that works for them. Sometimes that is where they find greatness. Of course we have to encourage women to do what is best for them and if that means creating their own path then they should do that. But to say all successful women went off on their own path is, in my opinion, a gross genreralization. There are women who are "in the box" and they are slaying there. They are raising good children, doing good things in their careers, and that is more than enough. That is their mission. We cannot forget the women who may blend into the background of society, who do not make much noise, and simultaneously living their truth and their purpose. These women are successful, too.
So true!
Doesn’t need to tuning in zero balance about every word we hear. Of course she didnt meant to generalize successful women in one category. But we could remember all those little “out of box” challenges in life we risked.
If one stayed on the safe route only, and did nothing off the map, and think they are quite successful? I would call it privileged and carried on upon somebody else’s shoulder.
@@tahyechoi Yes, I would still call that person successful.
Miss Abby is awesome! Thank you Marie for bringing her ❤️
🤯 love this interview. Game changer thinking. Omg. Thank you! 💗
You make what you do special by what you bring to it
Something I never thought about, but keeping the most of the wealth in men's hands means that it is reinvested and spent on companies that men value, not companies that women value, it keeps reinforcing the idea that what men value thrives and what women value barely makes it.
Such a great approach to equality and some fresh ideas for impacting change... Can't wait to read the book!
Wow!! What a conversation 😊 I realllly enjoyed this one so much!! Thank you very much you two amazing women ♥️
Thank you, Abby, for "We don't have to be that way."
I can't wait to read this book. What an inspiring interview!
Me too
I gotta get this book
Amazing lady and a surprising episode.
Thank you, Marie, for bringing Abby in our lives
I love listening to Abby, such an amazing person
Wonderful. Thank you from Wales uk. X
You don't have power when you hold others back out of fear of losing control of the position, you have a bullying insecurity that holds everyone back.
Beautiful thank you so much!! Goosebumps! Book-drop - drop the mic! Love you badass women xoxo
What a wonderful interview!!!
What is this woman talking about? Her reading skills are on point!!! Great interview, great women!
My dad is a janitor and my mom cleans a nursing home
Thanks, great video!
Beautiful. I love video's like this!
I was also thinking "Why is Marie Forleo releasing a video this late at 22:02pm?" Only to remember that I'm in UK London time haha!
R L89 😂😃🙏🏼☮️❤️
OMG chills when she read it.
You shared a lot of interesting information that helped me with valuable lessons.
Non stop gems.
I love Abby! Sooooo inspirational and awesome!!!! ♡♡♡♡♡♡
AMAZING! I need to buy me the book
Love you Abby 💕💕
This was so good
Yes taking appropriate risks! some people frown on me having not succeeded at something like a job I risked to take across the country that didn't work out for me because of culture shock ~ hey! I got life experience! that is what I gained out of that risk! I am not here to please others first, need to do what you need to do for yourself first.
Cookie cutter education and one size fits all with standardized testing and less arts in undergraduate education k-12, pushes us creative people to a space when we were younger were we felt we were less than. So thankful I created my own business and will continue creating until the day I fly away. You are both AMAZING! 💕🙏💕 #gardensbyrachel. #rora_rocks
Mining our lives
I'm in the middle of this interview and just am really confused now. When you talk about little red Riding Hood and how it's a good thing to go off the beaten path - Not sure what version of this take is around in America - but - What is good about being eaten? Can somebody please enlighten me? 😅
That's what they're saying, the fairytale teaches us if you go off the path it's dangerous and you'll get eaten. It warns little girls to stay in their place and stick on the path. Whereas these women know that off the path is where the good stuff happens.
@@laurenwilson2254 Thank you, than I just missed the crusual sidenote. 😁
I'm going to buy it. :)
I am here for all of this, but I also want to throw $1000 on a bed and roll in it and possibly also make it rain once. Because dammit, when I get to the place where that feels comfortable, I have begun my journey to fulfilling my purpose in this world.
Here's to having the freedom and the choice to do either one, Danni! - Team Forleo
Wow
Awesome 💖
Most impact - Woman have to work 10 years longer than Men to earn the same amount of money! This pissed me off more than anything, because this to me is so not ok! We need to do better than this for our sons and daughters. I am hopeful that we are moving toward a better place for all and this book is certainly helping to bridge that gap. Pissed off woman get s%*t done!
Amen, Rhonda. 🙌🏼 -Team Forleo
I love her and everything see saying 😍
On repeat
salute!
Would love an African American woman's perspective on scarcity. The nuances are a bit different.
Like like like like like looooove! If I could like more than once I would.... ❣️
hell yeah!
How is it that one mines the gold out of your life? What was that process?
Lovely
