Quotes
"I know what its like to battle anxiety and wonder what problems the next day is going to hold, and right now I feel a lot of spaciousness, and I am so grateful for that" (7:33)
"I'm here, I'm moving my body, I'm being good to it. And I try to really notice the voice, the tone in which I am speaking to myself" (18:29)
"I am going to be in this body and in this mind for the rest of my life, so I might as well really love the voice that I am speaking to myself in" (21:34)
"We let perfectionism paralyze us, we let imposter syndrome hold us back, and we think that courage means that we have our shit together. And what courage means is that we are scared and we just go anyway" (35:12)
"So much of life, I think to keep us from paralysis we have to embrace paradox. Because that really is what life is" (45:50)
