“People are best when they work on their own terms.”

“The reason that people join and stay at companies has to do with so much more than just compensation and benefits.”

“We - as a group - really believe in changing our industry for the better and lifting up women and people from diverse backgrounds.”

“Labor is not free.”

“The more that I help others, the more that I serve, the more that I show up and give, the more that I personally will receive.”

“The person who puts in the most inputs doesn't necessarily get the most outputs. It's about working smarter, it's about doing the right things.”

“These are all of the things that make you unique - these little life stories.”

“To create your own personalized self-care plan, the most important thing first is to know yourself.“

“The trade-off is that you cut out things, and trade them for these memories that last forever.”

“Be yourself, everyone else is taken.”

“There's another way forward. We live only so long. There is no reason for you to be suffering in this life. There's anything I want people to know is YOU can have the life that you want. You can embody that you may need some help getting there, and there are people available to help you there, but you don't have to feel like it's killing you slowly on the inside”

“If you don’t believe in yourself, who will?”

“Your inner child is this version of you who experienced life, and it has such a huge impact on how you show up today.”
