Quotes

“Some resilience is not about standing alone, but really about leaning into family, friendship, school, culture, and community. Our connections can actually be the strongest anchor in the storm.” - Cristina Young 

“The whole process of growing up is all about messing up. You have to let your teens mess up in order to grow.” - Michelle Icard 

“As a parent, you have to accept that you are raising someone apart from you. Someone whose job it is to separate from you. Someone who will be who they’ll be regardless.” - Michele Icard
