"Who am I to stand in my kid's way of making mistakes? I could tell them all the things to be a good human... but they're not going to learn. They have to go out there. They have to make mistakes and fall down because, just like me, that's how I learn and that's how they need to learn." -Jen Springer

 

"It's actually really much more beneficial to our mental health to be able to sit with uncomfortable situations and sit with our frustrations in our anger and all of that. Rather than try to numb it or make it go away with a dopamine hit it actually ends up making you feel worse in the end." -Julia Storm
