Quotes

"You're only as sick as your secrets."

"When the secrets come out, when the light comes into the darkness, is really when we have change, personal change and collective change."

"We're storied beings, so we're always making meaning of everything that happens to us, and that meaning could be the world is safe, the world is unsafe, or everything works out for me or nothing works out for me."

"Find one person that you can talk to about these things, find one ally, we're better together, we're stronger together."
