BEST MOMENTS

"When we give that negative thinking voice... it becomes self-professing. We then find more and more things that are against us in the world."

"I feel like the victim. Yeah, give it a voice. But what happens if we give it too big a voice? We go in a downward spiral."

"We're not taking agency. That's such an American term, I think. We're not taking agency. We're not taking personal responsibility."

"I always have to tell my daughter she's of that age where they like to boss each other around... we can't control other people as much as we might like sometimes."
