This week I am re-playing my interview with advocate, Substacker, and "summoner of women's audacity," Shannon Watts in honor of the fact that her new book “Fired Up: How to Turn Your Spark into a Flame and Come Alive at Any Age” released just last week.

Shannon first entered that national conversation when she founded Moms Demand Action, the grassroots movement for common sense gun reform that began with a Facebook post the day of the Sandy Hook school shooting and has grown to include more than 10 million members.

Shannon writes regularly for her Substack, Playing with Fire, and outlets like The Washington Post, Elle, Time, and more. She has also been named Glamour's Woman of the Year and one of Time's 100 Most Influential People.
Since leaving Moms Demand Action, Shannon has been on a quest to motivate more women to use their voices to advocate for change, whether that’s within their own families, workplaces, communities, states, the country, or the world.

It was an honor to talk with her and we really broke it down, covering:

- Knowing when it's time to transition out of what you've been doing
- ADHD and how its effects have changed as she's gotten older
- Switching gears from being a very public person who had to keep her private life private (to not feed the trolls) to a private person who talks about private things (menopause, ADHD) publicly
- The incredible origin story of Moms Demand Action (or what I call, "the Facebook post heard 'round the world)
- Her standing desk fail

Thank you for listening!
