Quotes:

"I think sharing and being vulnerable, that's hard...that's harder to me than keeping everything inside. I think going against the culture, that's very difficult. That's the strength. Vulnerability, to me, is the strength." - Zach Gottlieb

“I’ve noticed that people of all genders need to be talking more…" - Zach Gottlieb

“You’re not resilient because you avoid your emotions, you’re resilient because you can sit with your discomfort and know you’ll survive” - Lori Gottlieb
