KEY TAKEAWAYS


It is important to accept where you are in life and practice forgiveness towards yourself and others.


Don't be afraid to reach out for help and support from experts and professionals to guide you through your journey.


Allow yourself to process your emotions and use them as a GPS system to navigate through life.


Take personal responsibility for your actions and beliefs, and be accountable for the roles you play in relationships.


Progress is made by taking consistent small steps towards your goals, even if it means stepping out of your comfort zone.

BEST MOMENTS

"Sometimes when people can't accept you, it's because they're trying to accept themselves."

"You don't have to stay stuck. You can move forward. You can ask for help. Stop digging your heels in the sand. Make peace with where you're at."

"The world will want to define us in a million different ways. And it wants to give us this identity."

"I think in real love there's truth and there's vulnerability, and there's this space for growth and acceptance. And I say that because we truly have to wake up to the love for ourselves."
