• Episode 3: If You Tell by Gregg Olsen

  Hey besties! This week we are covering "If You Tell" by Gregg Olsen. “A true story about murder, family secrets and the unbreakable bond of sisterhood.” Disclaimer: this episode talks about murder, child abuse and the mention of rape. This one was a heavier book to cover but we are so glad that we decided to do it because the victims in this book deserve to have their story told. They lived through unimaginable abuse and their strength to overcome the many obstacles placed in their way is not only inspiring, but it defies all odds. Yes, it’s a story about the awful things that happened to these sisters (and anyone who came into contact with their mother) but it’s also a story of the human strength and resiliency that all lies within us.

A growth mindset is not dismissive of innate ability; it merely recognizes, as Dweck Explains, that ‘although people may differ in every which way- in their initial talents and aptitudes, interests, or temperaments- everyone can change and grow through application and experience.” Pg. 76 (The Happiness Advantage, 2010).
