Key Moments
“Having your person in your corner is absolutely key, for some it could be your family system, but for others it could be a teacher, a coach, a community member. It's this one person that doesn't let you give up on yourself.”

“I think there's a different purpose in different seasons of our life, and it's this evolution of ourselves and our character."

“Ask yourself, what's your favorite self? What are you doing? Who's around you? Why does it feel so good? This is actually pretty helpful to do some of that good work as well.”
