Quotes:

• When there's that ability just to be and truly be in the moment, that is a form of having that balance.
• Ultimately, it starts with our relationship with ourselves. It starts with how much you're pouring into yourself and understanding how much you can pour into others.
• Sometimes, it's getting to the reframe and being anchored to the why that gets you through.
• You have to find out what works for you and how you are getting there because I'm not going to be able to walk in the exact same path as someone else and have the same results.
