NOTABLE QUOTES:

“If we aren’t curious, how are we going to know what we need to do to change?”

“Connection, especially as entrepreneurs, it’s very lonely. If you look at the literature, one of the number one predictors of outcome is social support. Feeling alone, feeling disconnected is one of the primary reasons that people do not do well.”

“Skincare is not just about the products and procedures… It’s taking care of all parts of you living inside the skin of yours.”

“Skin health and mental health are not separate. The brain and the skin are intimately connected.”

“Success is paying attention to the relationship I have with myself and honoring that.”

“If you’re feeling overwhelmed, exhausted, or maxed out, start with the one thing that can help you move that needle. It doesn’t always have to be visible. Sometimes, it’s about how you feel inside.”

“A great leader is curious, doesn’t assume they know all the answers, and is open and receptive to the collective ideas and thoughts being shared.”

“To be a coach only requires that we be one step ahead of the people that we’re coaching. You can’t coach where you’ve never been.”

“We can’t change what’s happened in the past, but we can decide how we’d want to be in our relationship with our present so that we can move into our future with a greater sense of ease.”

The three critical secrets for healing the body:

Curiosity: Understanding what you need to change and how to take the next best step.
Compassion: Recognizing your needs without self-criticism and addressing them.
Connection: The importance of social support and connection in overall well-being.
