Memorable Quotes

"Anxiety is actually the body's process of healing over time. As your body can no longer contain the accumulated dissonant energy, it produces anxiety as a way to start letting tension off the system."

"The mistake we make is thinking anxiety is some foreign invader. Nobody's taught us that anxiety is actually like a fever - an indication of healing taking place."

"Your anxiety is a gift. Just like challenges in business, relationships, and life are gifts. We don't want a challengeless life. We want the wisdom to work through challenges and translate them into personal power."
