Discovery means understanding what it truly takes. Discovery means knowing yourself. Dierdre explains how journaling has been one of the most powerful tools in her life — helping her clarify her thoughts, discover who she really is, and stay aligned with her goals. Journaling isn’t just writing — it’s self-exploration. It’s a way to uncover what you really want and map out the steps to make it happen. We also discuss: • Why people put limits on themselves • How media and “hype” shape belief systems • Why she chose not to let her children grow up influenced by television • The importance of truly wanting your dream • And why dreams only become reality when you take real action Dierdre is also the mother of Alex Honnold, featured in the Academy Award-winning documentary Free Solo, but this conversation is about her journey — her mindset, her discipline, and her refusal to live within limits. If you’ve ever thought it was “too late,” this episode is for you. Dreams don’t expire. You just have to want them badly enough — and do the work. • Success in 7 Steps   • The Sharp End of Life: A Mother’s Story     Published worldwide, in: Spanish — El Filo de la Vida  French: — Toujours Y Croire  Italian — In Cordata con Alex    • CNN    • Substack • Blog • IG, FB Website: www.Ridetoindependence.com YouTube.com/@ridetoindependencepodcast Instagram:  https://www.instagram.com/trishnycfitness Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/trish.manzo
