Quotes
- “…the only thing I can control is if I have all these odds against me, what I can do is just try, do the things that you don’t think you are capable of.”
- “Because my son was my, why? Like that was my bigger, why, which was a great motivator and great starts. And I had that energy and that like, anger of like, I’ll show you I’ll show I’ll prove you wrong. But when you’re trying to prove the world wrong, you burn out and you’re doing it from an angry place, but it got me started. So. Then I fell in love with meditation and mindfulness because of his behavior, not my behavior, his behavior.”
- “So now my focus is how good can it get? How good can I feel? Um, And I watch how cultural perceptions of who I need to be shows up and how far removed I am from that.”
- “you have to observe your own behavior and go, why is it that when I actually create space for myself, I’m so incredibly uncomfortable.”
- “ I had to rise and it was, it sucked and I had to figure it out, but it forced me to take my power back. It wasn’t about so much the treatment. It was the journey to get there. Um, it forced me to take my power back.”
