Quotes

“The best thing that ever happened to me putting that weight on so fast because I was a master hider.”

“It’s always been so hard to wrap my head around work addiction. Because it's always been this thing that's really celebrated in our culture and in the west world. And it's always a thing that I've worn as a badge of honour.”

“The belief that I'm not worthy because that's what it always comes down to.”

“I also know that I don't want to be someone who doesn't do things because I'm afraid. I want to walk in the direction of my fears, which is what I feel I'm doing.”

“A power greater than ourselves could restore us to sanity. And that's always helpful for me to remember whenever I'm in stress, craziness, agitation, lashing out, I'm in insanity.”
