Drive: To be seen, to create, to lead with heart — and to love and be loved in a way that feels as grand as they feel inside.
Strength: Natural leadership, creative genius, extraordinary generosity, and a warmth that transforms any room they enter.
Challenge: Tolerating sharing the spotlight, tolerating failure privately, and finding the self that exists independent of admiration.
