At times, Cavanaugh also found a renewed purpose in the needs she sees around her, propelling her to offer guidance, “sometimes whether they asked for it or not.”
“In markets like this, I think I’m motivated because I look around and see the number of people in need,” she said. “And when I see people in need, that thing comes back into my brain where I can see what they need to do to get through it. And I have this overwhelming urge to help them sometimes, whether they ask for it or not. I’m going to throw it out there, and if it’s helpful to somebody, then all the better.”
