If You Wish You Had a Mentor – 265

Do you wish you had someone who could guide you through life? An experienced person who willingly shares their wisdom and insight to help you navigate every crossroads you approach? If so, we're happy to say we know just what you're looking for: a mentor. The Mr. Miyagi to your Karate Kid! In this Smart Living with Grit and Grace podcast episode, Darlene Brock and Julie Bender share the value in mentorship, how to actually find a mentor, and which areas of mentorship you might want to consider. Whether you're looking for someone to divulge their tips, tricks, and secrets to confidence in motherhood, having a rock-solid marriage, or working your dream job, a mentor is the best place to start. They'll ideally be experienced in a subject-specific area and have your best interests in mind. Just keep in mind that mentorship comes with equal doses of advice and constructive criticism. Make sure you're ready for feedback of any kind—while it may be a hard pill to swallow in the moment, it'll help you grow in the direction you want to be!   Quote of the episode: “Walk with the wise and become wise.
