A Sound Bite is a short reflection inspired by a recent Girl, Take the Lead! conversation - an opportunity to explore one idea a little more deeply. In this Sound Bite, host Yo Canny reflects on a question that emerged from her conversation with Andrea Mein DeWitt: What is the difference between trust and faith? Together, they explored generosity, boundaries, trust, and the challenge of holding life with open hands. But after the conversation ended, Yo found herself continuing to think about trust - not as a feeling, but as a practice. In this reflection, she explores: Why hope, trust, and faith are related - but different How fear and control often travel together Why courage is required whenever we release certainty What Andrea's "Open Hands" philosophy can teach us about leadership and life The question many of us face as we navigate relationships, aging, parenting, retirement, and personal growth: What do we do when we can no longer control the outcome?
