I remember when I first came in, it took us a couple of hours to really connect. But once that bond was built, I knew they'd listen. That trust allowed me to share my experiences, even step in when needed. There was a moment recently when one mentor crossed a line, and I gently encouraged them to apologize. It's about creating a balance and letting them be themselves, but also stepping in if I feel something needs to be addressed. I don't shy away from that."
