How To Reinvent Yourself
#008 Meet Danica McKellar
Danica McKellar is best known for her role as Winnie Cooper in The Wonder Years. But she’s gone on to accomplish much more since her days as a child actress, including becoming a New York Times bestselling author.
She writes books that teach kids how to handle math more easily. And she explains “new math” to parents. In addition to writing amazing books, you can also catch her in movies on the Hallmark Channel as she hasn’t given up acting.
Some things Danica and I talk about:
- How she reinvented herself
- How she deals with the fear of failure
- Why she considers herself a work in progress
- How girls are getting the message that their main value comes from their appearance
- Tips for parents who are homeschooling their kids
- The strategy that helps her feel better when she’s depressed
- The three things you need in order to discover your purpose
- The best strategy for accomplishing something big
Quotes:
“I was known as “that girl from the show” over and over again. I had to deal with the fact that the world had not moved on.”
“Don’t wait until you’re ready because you might never feel ready.”
“People give up on their dreams because they’re afraid they’re going to fail.”
