Erica (age 49): Stop doubting yourself so much. Stop being so concerned with… not even with what other people think, but even just with what you think of yourself.

Rachel (age 44): Stop saying sorry. Take up more space.

Karen (age 72): Don't march to anybody's drum. Don't feel ashamed. Be proud of who you are.  

Brenda (age 61): Learn from every single thing, and compassion is the key. 

Charlotte (age 48): It would be to understand that there are people like me that are also shy.

Dolores (age 76): Stay positive about life. 

Honey (age 71): I think I'd say the most important thing is to love yourself.

Gisela (age 64): I would tell her not to worry so much. It's all small stuff. Don't sweat the small stuff.

Ruth (age 68): Just roll with the punches, don't even sweat it. Don't even sweat it, it gets better with time.
