“You have to give yourself permission. It’s really important that we give ourselves permission to avoid shame, guilt, whatever…” [21:27]

“Would you ask the sun why it shines brighter on some days than others? Would you ask the moon why it breaks the darkness on some nights and not others? Such is the course of life. Some days we give our best but other days we just exist. Some days we are kings and queens of our minds and souls, and some days we are spaces to our hearts.” [22:2o]
