Memorable Quotes

“When we become an embodied leader, an embodied mother, embodied sister, it is being able to hold the fullness of our lives with grace, with compassion and dignity and reverence.”

"We are shifting into the next level of our human consciousness. And how we do that is we can start to play and manipulate the chemicals in our brain that bring us back to oneness, to a remembrance of who we are and why we're here."

"For most of my life, the word intuition didn't exist. The word self-love didn't exist. I was so programmed to believe that if I give everything outside myself, everyone else and everything, my full and divided attention and love and appreciation outside myself, that was what I was supposed to do."
