Discussion Questions
7 questions1.Nancy addresses common objections to intentional mentoring relationships: "I don't know how to start," "I don't have time," "What if it gets awkward?" Which of these objections feels most alive in you, and how does Nancy address it?
2.She argues that mentoring does not have to be a formal program with a curriculum — it can be as simple as inviting a younger woman to accompany you through your regular life: grocery shopping, cooking dinner, doing laundry. Does this low-key vision of mentoring feel more accessible or less impressive than what you had imagined? Why?
a.What is one regular rhythm in your own life that a younger woman might genuinely benefit from observing or participating in?
b.What is holding you back from extending that kind of invitation?
3.Nancy gives practical guidance for how to structure a mentoring relationship — how often to meet, what to talk about, how to begin. What feels most helpful in her practical advice? What feels most daunting?
