Chutzpah with Bridget Bard

It’s not just a fun word; chutzpah is the quality of audacity for good or bad and we all have an equal opportunity to hone our self-confidence into moments of boldness. Let’s hear about the stories in which we had some guts and said what we needed to say and changed the world around us, for better or worse. Afterall, just getting through a day on this wild, beautiful, planet takes a little chutzpah, don’t you think?
