Quotes:

"Panic and anxiety are being hyper self-aware and anything that you can do to break that for a second, gives your body and brain permission to let go"

"No matter how tragic that sexual assault happened to be, there were women that actually got stronger and better because of what they learned from that trauma."

"No matter if you have someone punching you in the face or you are sitting dealing with panic, there are always ways out. There are always things you can do to get to a place where you are safe"

"You don't think your way out of panic and anxiety, you behave your way out"

"None of these people had the tools that they needed to complete their journey when they started. Every single one of them developed those tools along the way. You do not start out with your backpack full."

"You have to be pushing in the direction of growth, not tearing yourself down"

"What happens to the people who are Resilients overtime is they have a stress inoculation"

"If you battle this dragon, you are going to get to the treasure"

"There's no way around it, I am going to go through it and keep going"
