Memorable Quotes:
“We experience challenging emotions all the time and what most people are lacking is a way for that emotional digestion to occur.”
“We all grieve and we don’t really talk about that. Unless we can really be present with our experience and our emotions, just that build up of emotional baggage can affect our health and our mental health and really just dampen our view of the world.”
“We all have different values and priorities in our life and when we get really clear on what those are, then we can start to really make choices that are aligned with those values and priorities.”
“Pushing away our feelings and resisting them and trying to get busy over them or under them—that is what causes so much pain...all of this avoiding and pushing away is what causes more suffering.”
