Powerful Quotes to Remember:
- It’s not just about the stage; it’s about a long lifestyle and mindshift that’s going to keep your health in check.
- It’s okay to lean on others and ask for help when you need it.
- Sometimes you need people in your life to give you the help and the reality check you need.
- Every part of your journey deserves to be heard. If you don’t share all of it, how can anyone know that they can do it, too?
- Just because you’re in a different place now, doesn’t mean you can’t love who you were when you started.
- Being judged for 30-60 seconds does not dictate who you are. It should not control your emotions moving forward.
- Whether or not you have to work 10 times harder than others is completely irrelevant. Know what YOU have to do and work as hard as YOU can.
- Allowing yourself to feel emotions helps you get through them and let them go.
