Quotes
“It is not about changing your external environment but changing your internal environment, and your external environment will change along with that.”
“Feeling good enough does not happen overnight. It is pulling back the layers of how you have to be, showing up and getting back to who you are as a person.”
“It’s possible to heal. Everyone has the ability to help themselves if that is something they want to do.”
“The power is in our hands, there are always tools and support systems to help, but it does start with you.”
