Quotes
“It was like seeking the prescription of what others were telling me versus listening to myself and getting really in tune with what lands true for me.” (8:54)
“We are a community of freelancers, of sole proprietors, of business owners, of remote workers, that come together as a collective and work out of the same space.” (18:58)
“By creating this space and this room to breathe and actually taking care of myself, I actually started to see things so much clearer. And that's when I really recognized that the space I created for myself I wanted to create for others in the physical sense.” (26:44)
“We want to make the world of wellness more aligned with the world of business and our life purpose.” (32:49)
“The lows will pass, but also the highs. That's just part of entrepreneurship, there will be a next day. And you will win an award and then what? Or you'll hit a goal and then what? Its all about being adaptive at being mindful in the moment and to enjoy the ride. Because that's really what it is, its a journey, it's not about any destination.” (36:37)
