Memorable Quotes:
“When we're making up those stories…there's nothing wrong with you. It's just part of the human experience and how our brain processes things. So it's not about stopping it altogether. It's about recognizing very quickly when you're doing it and having self compassion and choosing another narrative.”
“Sometimes things suck, and sometimes we can look at them as invitations to truly show up in our life. Sometimes things suck and sometimes we can also look at them as life lessons and as a gift.”
“You have to find what motivates you within accountability and do that and you just have to just rip the bandaid off.”
