Summary

Megyn Kelly (The Megyn Kelly Show) sits down with Bridget to talk about taking control of her own career and destiny. They cover what led her to journalism from law, why the constant focus on identity doesn't lead us to anyplace good in our society, how feeling sorry for yourself causes depression, the ability to withstand public pressure as a politician in this day and age, and what will happen if Trump runs again. They also discuss the importance of being able to laugh at yourself, how avoiding controversy and protecting yourself in a "safe space" is the worst possible approach to dealing with life's troubles, why kids have to put themselves out there, take risks and fall on their faces, and Megyn shares the best thing her therapist ever said to her. Check out The Megyn Kelly Show 12 - 2pm EST daily, on Sirius XM Triumph Channel 11.
