Standout Quotes:

"Here's the thing. You can't outrun your problems, right? What you don't face will return." -Johanna Burkhardt [04:08]
"Your emotions have to be digested the same way food is. It has to be. And those raw emotions, they become the fuel for your driving force, your engine, your solar plexus. It is in sitting with and feeling those emotions and allowing yourself to not be a victim of them, but just say you know what, it's ok for me to feel right now." -Johanna Burkhardt [30:53]
"We're not afraid of anything but we are afraid of feeling everything." -Johanna Burkhardt [32:16]
"If it's not challenging you, it's not changing you." -Jessie Browning [59:44]
"But if you want to create change in your life, you have to consistently show up for yourself even when you don't want to do it. Because here's the thing, what you resist is your greatest potential. What you resist is exactly what you need. So the more resistant you become to it, the further you come to getting the solution to the problem that you've been seeking.

Standout Quotes:

"It didn't have to get to this nasty, big bomb of a bottom. Like, it can be enough that it's a problem without that. -Jessie Browning[20:16]
"You have to accept that you're going to be going against the social norms and it's going to make people uncomfortable and that's still something I struggle with." -Wendy Slinkard [57:06]

Standout Quotes:

"So powerful to be in a room of women where we were given tools to move through that rage and that grief safely." -Maggie Gentry [07:37]
"In addition to therapy, I think having the vocabulary that [Barbara Erochina] shared was extremely helpful for me to be able to understand that feelings and emotions are signals from my body and so not ignoring the signals that they're sending." -Maggie Gentry [16:42]
"I think for me, it's staying really focused on why I'm doing this. Which for me, it goes back to what we shared, redirecting the conversation for how to be in business, being able to see those of us that choose to have a business is merely a way to channel the change that we want to see in the world. It is merely a platform." -Maggie Gentry [37:45]
