“When you marry your values, your abilities, and your desires, you can start a fire in your life. And your life should be a series of fires all the way until the end.” – Shannon Watts

Intro

I am thrilled to have Shannon Watts, author and founder of Moms Demand Action, on the show to talk about her new book, Fired Up: How to Turn Your Spark Into a Flame and Come Alive at Any Age. I was definitely fired up and inspired by what Shannon had to share, and I think you will be, too.

If you’ve been going through life on autopilot (as many high-functioning codependents do), feel like something is missing, or like you’ve been playing it small and it’s time to stop and do something different, this conversation is for you.

Shannon shares practical tips and strategies for reimagining your life and while we talk about perimenopause and menopause, these tips can apply to anyone in any season of life!

Shannon Watts is the founder of Moms Demand Action, the nation’s largest grassroots group fighting against gun violence. Known as the ‘summoner of women’s audacity,’ she spent more than a decade leading one of the world’s largest field experiments for mobilizing women. She has been named one of TIME’s 100 Most Influential People, a Forbes 50 over 50 Changemaker, and a Global Woman of the Year.

After 11 years as the full-time volunteer leader of Moms Demand Action, Shannon stepped back in 2023 to focus on writing, speaking, and  organizing. She recently organized one of the largest Zoom gatherings in history, mobilizing over 200K voters and raising over $11 million in support of the 2024 Kamala Harris campaign, and becoming one of the campaign’s largest fundraisers and most powerful surrogates for calling white women in.
