Quote on Setting Boundaries for Empowerment: "For women, we have a hard time setting boundaries. But this idea of not giving choices you don't have, but going out of your way to give lots and lots and lots of choices is a really nice way of saying you got to draw some boundaries and then enforce them. And within those boundaries, give some empowerment, give some purpose, give some freedom to that human who's otherwise feeling a bit like they're losing out on some control."
