Memorable Quotes:
"I have found, I think we both have found continuously the immense power in our darkness or our shadow. That's been time and time again for me, my greatest teacher, my greatest source of strength. And just having the right people who can mirror that back to you so that it becomes really exciting versus terrifying." [00:10:16] – Rachel Pringle Urb
"We create our own version of reality, moment to moment. So why not become the creator of your reality? Why not make it super fun and playful? Because, I mean, that's all there is, all the time." [00:31:48] – Johann Urb
