QUOTABLES:

"I was tired of trying to figure it out - why someone didn't want me. I was tired of that, and tired of carrying that burden. And so I had to let it go. I had to figure out how to let that go and keep moving forward and really start to realize that they're missing out on me."

"If we could just step in those rooms and just be grateful for the access. That could probably help change the way you feel in terms of confidence."
