"When I ask people, 'How's your heart today?' I really mean, 'What is going on for you? How's your spirit, mind, emotional state, and how's the part of you that maybe you don't want to check in with but you really need to, so you can be fully present?" - Zami Hyemingway

Key Quotes:
"When we speak things, we are speaking blessings or curses. We're either manifesting growth, or we're manifesting removal in many ways." - Zami Hyemingway
"What would your life look like, if the first thing you did was tend to your heart? Imagine how powerful that would be if the first thing you do is care for yourself. How liberating our days would be if the first thing we do is we pray to ourselves, lift ourselves up, speak affirmations to ourselves, move in our body and get grounded in our body." - Zami Hyemingway
"Wellness does not have to look like what we see on TV with all these Instagram fitness people and personal trainers who don't have certifications. Just because someone knows how to eat a certain way or train for their body doesn't mean they know how your body works. Because only you know how your body works." - Zami Hyemingway
