The We Podcast

"We all signed up to be here at this time right now to help move humanity's evolution forward."

"You have that old thought or old behavior and like, Oh no, no, no, no, no. I'm done with that."

"How do you know fish are sleeping?"

"It's when you do something good for someone else, it fills your bucket and it fills theirs."

"Start where you are. You are enough, and you do enough."

"What you have to give to this world, what you're putting out there is making a difference and it needs to be there."

"Don't set up camp in failure because you're just going to get stuck and not see that window right over there."

"We all want to feel safe, loved, accepted, liked, and validated, and diet culture tells us we can only have those things if we're innocent."

"I can't leave the faith, but I can leave the system."

"All of us have reasons why we should stay where we are and not move forward. But we have the choice."

"I wasn't viewed as a victim. I was viewed as somebody who had committed a crime."

"I never knew what it felt like to have people show up when you do ask for help."
