Quotes:

“I've lost myself. I have found myself. And now, I'm working on keeping myself centered and intentional and helping women to do the same in their lives, to follow their dreams, to become who they know that they've been meant to be by God so that they can create those strong families create that strong identity within themselves, and start to rebuild what is broken in them and around them.” – Leah Darrow

“You are when you say you are. You're the writer when you say you're the writer, you're the coach when you say you're the coach, you're the business owner, when you say you're the business owner, you are when you say you are.” – Leah Darrow

“Just whatever you do, do it messy. Don't wait for things to be cleaned up to do it. Just do it messy. And just get it going. Because it's so easy to clean up once you know exactly what it is you need to do.” – Leah Darrow

Takeaways:

Recognizing that your identity and intrinsic worth are from being a cherished child of God is a powerful foundation that surpasses validations of achievements or external opinions.

Rather than passively accepting our thoughts, we must actively question and challenge them, removing the barriers hindering our pursuit of dreams and realizing our full potential.

Facing our fears by taking action is how we gain courage. We shouldn't wait until we feel "ready" to pursue our dreams and purpose. Taking intentional action, even in the face of uncertainty, is the medium for cultivating resilience and strength.

Conclusion:

Knowing that who we are comes from our connection with something greater, not just what others say, sets the stage for growing and learning about ourselves. When we let go of beliefs that hold us back, work on healing, and confront fears with bravery, we open the way to a meaningful life.
