One is childcare… and a lot of people are taking care of their parents…they need to know that they can do that and not have the guilt that can go with that… That is kind of the glue that makes any relationship work… that it kind of goes both ways, right?”

17:45 – “You said I need other people to help me grow… you're talking about… a network of people who can help you not only with advice, but also help you by pushing back and challenging and helping you grow in lots of different ways.”
19:39 – “Even the most beautiful garden that you see, has to have the weeds pulled out of it daily… you have to take time to pluck out those doubting thoughts, those negative thoughts and maybe even that could be people in your life that maybe you're not cutting them out, but you're not giving them as much airtime.”
23:20 – “Sometimes it's just flying five seconds east to get out the window. Instead of crashing our head against banging our head against the wall.”
26:28 – “You have to first identify what you want, be aware of where you started, and then really be intentional about the steps that you need to take to get there.”
