Fergie’s Top 5+ Knowledge Nuggets and Take-Aways:

1. If you’re in a dark place, open up to someone you trust and lean into your faith—it’s the first step out. ✝️
2. Crush your excuses—setbacks like surgery or job loss don’t define you, your response does. 💪
3. Remember: life is a film strip, not a snapshot—whatever you're going through, it’s temporary. 🎞️
4. Don’t use introversion as an excuse—serve boldly, speak purposefully, and stretch yourself. 💬
5. When life collapses, pivot. Don’t quit. Rebuild with stronger conviction. 🛠️
6. Audit your energy—write down what lights you up, what drains you, and what really matters. 📝
