QUOTES:


“It’s about finding the crazy in you and owning it”


“Owning a studio has been my dream forever. I have always wanted to own a place for people to come together and create.”


“Confidence is about muting everybody. It is trusting in yourself. And that is so hard to do.”


“The number one thing that I tell my students is to stand in their own power. Stand in their own story. To stand in whatever it is they have been through and not try to deny it.”


“A big hardship I faced was being taken off stage in front of everybody because I was too big. That was insane to me because I look back at those pictures and think about how great I was. It has always been an ongoing thing.”
