A YouTube conversation (Chris Collins with guest Liz Flynt) discussing excerpts from Eleanor Roosevelt's autobiography. In this chunk they read an early-life excerpt about a child’s habit of lying from fear and react to Eleanor Roosevelt’s quoted line, "You cannot let anything intimidate you without your consent." The session is conversational and reflective, focusing on how Roosevelt's words resonate with the speakers.

I read you some. Some excerpts here and then just get your thoughts on it. So this is more towards the beginning as a kid. But she says the habit of lying stayed with me for years. My mother did not understand that a child may lie from fear. I myself never understood it until I reached the age when I realized that there was nothing to fear.
Well, Eleanor once said that.
You cannot let anything intimidate you without your consent.
That's pretty good.
That's powerful.
