“I want my clients to feel comfortable. I want them to feel relaxed. And quite frankly, I don’t need to put on a suit to activate my brain, which is what you’re paying an attorney for.”
“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.”
“We outperform ourselves by 30% when we’re in a good mood… if you actually want to get more productivity, know what makes your people happy.”
“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.”
