NOTEWORTHY QUOTES FROM THIS EPISODE

“I’m just so grateful that people now hearing my story feel the confidence to share their story because that’s how we heal. We heal by sharing our story. I know I’m healing because I’m sharing mine.”

“We never get a second opportunity to make that all-important first impression. And so when we feel confident in what we’re wearing, what we’re speaking, who we’re meeting, we are better able to make that first impression the best one that we can.”

“Having self-confidence means you have the courage and are able to acknowledge that you need someone to support you in that very second. And that’s okay.”

“The first impression people want to see is the authenticity that you bring to the room, to the table, to the screen.”

“You can be as prepared as you can be, but sometimes you’re just not and things still cross your path. And as long as you are you, you can make a lot of magical things happen.”
