“I can and I can’t mindset…..Brain decides if we can or can’t do something … and we just believe it…” (6:22)

“So many people believing our Can’t mindset is fixed…. Which leads people to stay in relationships or careers they don’t like…. Not pursing different goals or pipedreams” (7:23)

“Why we are having the anxiety or the panic to begin with…. It also comes down to understanding where we were, what we were thinking, what environment we were in…. so, we can understand and be fearless confronting it, versus hiding away from it and falling back into the victim mode” (13:07)

“What is different with what I do is…. I really work hard to reframe what people make the anxiety mean about them, because at the end of the day if you are experiencing anxiety and you are making it mean there is something wrong with you, you are creating more anxiety…….instead of willing to confront and face it and still be the authority of your brain and everything that is happening” (13:38)

“We give into our perfection tendencies, giving into our people pleasing, or fear our failure or our worry of what people will think of us, and I really want to people to overcome all of those things so they can produce things that the world needs” (18:56)
