NOTABLE QUOTES:

"We get to have whatever experience we choose to have."

"Everything that happened in our lives served a purpose."

"A lot of people have this misconception that you'll write a book and then you'll become a bestseller and all of a sudden you'll make all this money. And while that would be luckily, it's not actually what usually happens. It's what comes from the authority of being an author that creates the opportunities that create the income."

"You are not for everybody. If you're trying to be for everybody, you're going to be for nobody."

"Nobody's trauma is better or worse than the other person. But it's all perception how we experience it."

"We just wanna be heard. We just wanna know that we're not alone. I don't want you to fix it. I don't want you to solve it because most of the time unless you've experienced it, you don't know what the hell to do."

"There are moments where we have to take a step back and be like; this person doesn't know how to support me because we've never been in this space before. So it's up to me to say what I need in order to feel supported. And if I don't know what I need, it's also up to me to say I don't know what I need."

"When you are assaulted, going into the world as whether you're female or male and having intimate experiences, they change after you've been assaulted."

"Rather than asking the why question, say, what does this make possible?"

"Our relationships are the foundation to every single thing in our life, and it starts with the relationship with ourselves."
