Growing up with the childhood that I had, I learned to never let a man make me feel helpless, and it also embedded a deep need in me to always stick up for women.

I didn't have a good childhood growing up.

I was a Tina Turner fan growing up.

I felt like a dork growing up so this is shocking.

My kids have a competitive drive I never had growing up.

When we are children we seldom think of the future. This innocence leaves us free to enjoy ourselves as few adults can. The day we fret about the future is the day we leave our childhood behind.
