  • Her desire to make connections with real people
  • The ebb and flow of balancing her work and personal life
  • Nature and the environment as her house of worship
  • Spirituality and how it allows her to relinquish her desire for control
  • The wisdom in spiritual traditions
  • Maturity is learning to be okay with not having answers
  • Her capacity to be more tender and curious 
  • Asking what we can do to change policies and systems
  • Everyone has a part to play in activism on important topics
  • How anxiety and self-criticism show up in her life
  • Her collection of affirmations that serve as evidence of the truth
