"When you dim your light, when you decide to not show up in a certain way out of fear that somebody may disagree with you, you are fully catering to somebody who doesn't get it, who's not meant to get you, versus the person who is praying for your message, who literally was put on your path to hear your story in the unique way that you're going to share it, but you're focused too much on the other people."
— Allie Reeves
"Women need to be making more money and good money. And I want to be an example of what it looks like to be able to create the life that you actually want, married with the business that you want, not have them compete with each other and be wildly compensated in the process."
— Allie Reeves

"I know so many of you battle with this, and I really believe that overthinking just stems from fear, fear of making the wrong decision, fear of failure, fear of being judged, fear of putting myself out there. But that is part of the journey, my friends. And the key is just to embrace the failure as a learning opportunity, to be able to cultivate self compassion along with that journey."
— Julie
"We start trusting that inner voice inside us and that inner narrative and that inner belief system because we've created a new one. We start to believe in ourselves and in our ability in a whole new way."
