Quotes from the Episode

It’s your duty as a human being to work on yourself, so that starts to be reflected on the outside.

Over the years what I’ve discovered is that marketing is like a detective, and marketing starts to show the things that really are not working within your company.

Earth school is hard.

It’s also a call to practice discernment. What really is going to feed me? What really is my passion?

What if you quit labeling things as good or bad? This is an experience I’m going through right now. Instead of labeling it. What am I to learn from this?

You have to be willing to just crack yourself open, which is really hard, and it does take vulnerability.

Lauren Cohen: Solving the Corporate Leadership Crisis

“I had shoved down that part of myself and that inner wisdom and intuition because I was so busy listening to, like, what the world wanted for me, what my family wanted for me, what success looked like that I couldn’t even hear my own voice anymore. And so it was coaching that really helped me rediscover that again. And for me, it was just totally transformative.”

Amy Rivera: Training Lymphedema Ninjas Worldwide

“When you’re diagnosed with lymphedema, I feel like you go through all the stages of grief. And there are moments where I get angry still. There are moments that I’m very happy. There are moments that I’m sad.”
