Quotes

“Everybody's health goals don't have to look the same. We're all on this journey to get better, and your version of good could look really different than my version of good. As long as we're both moving towards our version of better, that's all that you need.”
“Stress management isn't something we do only when we're feeling uptight. Stress management is one other part of how we care for our bodies and our minds so that hopefully, when life throws us a curveball, we have some tools and are more resilient to handle that change.”
“Doing it all is an absolute fairy tale.”
