Quotes

“When I talk about self-awareness, I mean getting to the core of who you really are, and that’s minus all of the background noise, whether it's coming from friends, family, coworkers, social media. When you boil everything down, it comes down to you. Who are you at your core? What drives you? What are your motivations? What are your beliefs?” [01:20]

“It's in keeping those promises to yourself that then starts to change the switch in your head and create a new pattern where you're not just so focused on this pattern of self-sabotage and self-betrayal because now you're starting to keep promises to yourself, even if they're just little promises.” [07:30]

“Something that I actually find quite empowering is ‘reframing’. You can go back to a situation that perhaps you felt like a victim or you felt betrayed, and you can look at it from a new perspective all this time later and say, ‘You know what? This person hurt me, this person lashed out at me. I was the strong one in this situation.’ If you were cheated on, it was that person's weakness and lack of discipline or self-control, not yours.” [09:42]

“A lot of times we expect people or we expect a certain degree of treatment from others that we're not willing to do for ourselves. You have to do it for yourself first.” [12:14]

“You always have to go against your need and desire for confirmation bias. You always have to look for the things that can challenge what you think and what you hold as truth.” [15:04]
