Quotes to ponder:

"People should be shown and told that they are beautiful, well, and worthy just as they are right now."

"Healing doesn’t happen when you follow a strict formula of x,y, and z, it happens when you let go and allow yourself to be enough, right in this moment."

"When you come from a place of “I’m not enough”, then you feel immense pressure to do everything perfectly in order to bring value to yourself."
