NOTABLE QUOTES FROM THE EPISODE:



I've been able to continually evolve my thinking about movement and coaching and to a practice now where I'm working a full time gig but still get to spend a lot of time at home, which was a huge must for me when it came to professional life.



Life became about going from A to B to C to D thinking that if I'm not happy at A, if I get to B, I'll be happy. Well, if I'm not happy at B, if I get to C… I was chasing a carrot. Every time I got to that carrot, the carrot wasn't big enough.



I became so extreme that I could not enjoy being around other people that were living the life they wanted to live because I always felt like I needed to put my finger on it and say this is how you should do things. People genuinely did not like hanging out with me because it was just too difficult to be around me.



If I died tomorrow and there was one message that I could leave behind for Avia, it'd be, “When you are thinking about doing something, don't do it just because somebody told you to.”



The question that I ask myself is, one, am I going to enjoy doing this? Am I having fun doing this?



For the first time to be able to recognize that I haven't figured it all out and to be okay with not figuring it all out.
