Remarkable Quote:

“In my life, with all the pivots that I’ve made have led me to where I would say is a very successful, happy and content place. My life is really the balancing of not always trying so hard, doing what I love, and doing my best."

“We co founded a framework that helps us bring together these physical symptoms with our emotional health, like how we're feeling and some of the feelings of, am I enough? What do I reach for? Is there more? And also with our leadership behavior, like, how are we showing up? As are we strong in ambition and grit, or are we strong in compassion and empathy?”
