Favorite takeaways:
1. Keep doing you, keep on your journey, keep finding your center, keep showing up authentically.
2. What lights me up is when I feel really connected to myself, to my power, and I move from that place and I’m doing the work that allows me to stay connected to that place.
3. It’s amazing what two minutes of breathing will do to your nervous system. What a difference it makes to how you show up.
4. Just because it’s hard and it’s uncomfortable doesn’t mean it’s not the right thing to do.
5. That’s how growth happens so many times. There’s so much growth that feels like stretching and painful and then you’re like- oh, actually that was the best thing for me!
6. Part of life is allowing people we love and people we don’t know to just experience life. We have to be honest and stop worrying so much about how other people are going to perceive us. They just get to have their experience.
7. It’s messy. It’s all messy. And we get so much permission to allow it to be messy. These are the stages we just get to be the most present we can be. There’s just so much grace. Nobody else is doing it perfectly. Just keep doing it.
