Key Quotes
“It’s a gift that we don’t rise too fast because it does harden us and toughens us up and provides chunks of learning.”
“You do actually have the power to say no to people when they say this is the program and to force your needs into the space.”
“I came to realise that if I was going go for a run for an hour…I would always start with what are some of the things that are waying on my mind? And I’d bring them with me and then let them go.”
