Quotes
“Pain keeps you silent and shame keeps you so silent .” - Cari Fund
“It's all about the tiny little shifts. Get a therapist, talk to your friends, don't carry shame, secrets, disappointment, and pain with you because it's going to come out in everything in your life and it's going to take away your joy.” - Cari Fund
“If you're a mom and you have kids, your past is going to parent your children if you let it.” - Cari Fund
“It's really interesting and fascinating to see who sticks around when you start to speak your truth, because some people really don't like it.” - Nikki Spo
“I think about anxiety a lot because I wonder if I’m anxious or am I just operating from a place of fear in my upbringing? Like, am I anxious or is my environment genuinely stimulating this anxiety?” - Nikki Spo
“It feels good to feel good so do what makes you feel good.” - Cari Fund
