"It's funny, but when we think of the people whom society deems 'successful,' it's easy to see how obstacles were a natural part of their journey. And yet when it's our own journey, too often we throw in the towel the first time we hit so much as a pothole. 'Oh well, guess it wasn't meant to be!' Mollicone-Long calls us on our 'b-s' as only she can, reminding us that those bumps along the way aren't setbacks, but rather our rites of passage."
