    • QUOTES

      “I don't want mental fitness in any way to be oppressive. My idea is that it's inspirational because it feels good.”

      “I'm a big advocate of therapy, not just for symptom control and because you're struggling with mental health, but for mental fitness for this notion of an ongoing kind of maintenance and attention to your mind, your mental health, and your specific goals.”

      “This transition in the 40s, 50s, and 60s into the next chapters of life– being more intentional, being more clear about the challenges for each of us… I think it helps us have a little more grace and feel more oriented.”
