    • Standout Quotes:

    • "Rock bottom moments are kind of… they're so great. They suck in the moment and it's like the worst thing you can feel, but without them, we don't grow. I don't say we don't grow, it's a lot more challenging to grow without that push." -Melanie Hersch [16:24]
  • "For me, the best version is when you're being fully authentic. You're whole self. You're truly authentic whether that upsets people or not, and you're just standing in your own worth. Then whatever comes from there is, that's the golden nugget." -Melanie Hersch [28:38]
  • "Instead of trying to push the anxiety away, invite it to the table to have tea with you. Like bring it in. Like come on, let's have a cup of tea and let's talk about what's going on right now, little one, and really be able to work with it. That's the only way through it, you know." -Melanie Hersch [36:39]
