Quotes:

[3:14] “When it comes to more nuanced things like being talked over mansplaining, sexual harassment, bullying interruptions, and all of those things are really skill based that I outlined in my book that help you to neutralize those everyday things that make your life feel just a little less pleasant. When you learn how to do that, you actually have a lot more control over your life, and it just feels more empowered.”

[7:16] “I don't really believe you can move through fear. I don't think that fear is something you can get rid of. I think that's actually a real problem that people have is that we think that in order to do something brave, we need to be fearless.”

[7:30] “What's really powerful is when you're afraid, you know you're afraid, and you know you need to do it anyway. To me, that's courage and that's bravery.”

[11:10] “You get up and you say wow, I really fell down. I need to learn and grow. So I can move forward, I'm going to take this experience, and see what it can do for me to change my life for the better.”

[11:47] “My life really isn't about what one person can do. My life is about what you can do to change the life of one person, because I've had a lot of people in my life who've really helped me and made a huge difference in my life.”
