"We have an incredible capacity for healing, if we just give ourselves a chance."
All in Personal Development
"We have an incredible capacity for healing, if we just give ourselves a chance."
"Sometimes we need training wheels and sometimes we don't. Sometimes we're well-resourced enough to take on a hard thing and sometimes we're not. I look back and I feel like I would have saved myself so much angst and wasted energy by not shaming myself for whatever the place was that I was at."
"Work life balance; there's not such a dichotomy. It's not like either/or. Work is part of our life. So how you choose to make your livelihood has to be some expression of who you are."
"How do I want to live my life so I can have the balance I really look for?"
"When we're intentional, and we're taking action and we're in touch with what it is we like, what matters to us, and we become unapologetic about that, there is liberation, and freedom, and joy."
"My first question to you is going to be 'What is the first step? What is the simplest thing you can do to make a change in your life today?'."
"One way is not the way for every body, and everybody needs to listen to their own body and figure out what works for you."
"With intuition, it's soft and subtle. It can be easy to put it aside. Worry and anxiety are much louder."
"I really like to remind women 'this is your time'. Claim your space. Claim your joy. Put pleasure back into your life and start to whittle away at some of the things you just do because you've been told you gotta do 'em".
"I like to help people think of the gut as a garden. You have to not just put the seeds in the ground but you have to have the right soil, you have to put the right nutrients in place."
“It's about these little moments and choices. It's about once again, again, and again, and again, noticing where we're at and choosing to meet our own needs.”
"Give the person that you love the permission, the empowerment, and the respect for the emotional experience that they are having because of their loss."
"There are things that can happen along this continuum that we get can to a point in peri-menopause or menopause that our body needs a lot more nourishment, sustenance, and emotional support."
"We have cultural scripts that give us roles based on every aspect of identity and all of that impacts how am I relating to what I enjoy. I am always comparing how I feel internally with how I feel I should be doing externally. And that’s not really based in “what do I like”?".
"When my emotional needs are being met, I'm much better as a physical human being."
“You start to realize that the things you’re habitually doing may be causing more suffering and how can you love yourself more, how can you nurture yourself more, so you can start to change that relationship with yourself.”
"Any tool that you can give someone that helps them look at themselves through a lens of understanding and compassion can only be helpful."
"It’s doing what works for us in order to allow ourselves to move to the next place and to feel empowered and confident about that. I think fear is part of that. It’s our relationship with fear that allows us to determine our own destinies."
"Empathy is the precursor to kindness. It is not an act of kindness. It is your ability to understand the need for, or the awareness of an opportunity, to act kind.”
"I think it's time to celebrate the people we've become, and the humans that we are, regardless of what that path was."
