• Her surprising dotcom startup past with PingPong.com in LA
• Learning from early mentors and “ists”—a physiotherapist and therapist who changed her life
• Coming out later in life and embracing full authenticity at 50
• The Carl Jung quote that almost became a tattoo: “I am not what happened to me. I am what I choose to become.”
