Memorable Quotes

""Personal growth is about downregulating the nervous system. It's learning how to more consistently operate from the parasympathetic expression instead of the sympathetic fight, flight, or freeze response."

"Anytime you're entangled with a thought or limiting belief that doesn't feel good, what we found 100% of the time was that thought wasn't true. This changed the game for us."

"The mind is speed. The heart and the body are slow. The mind is a tool for working with information that already exists. The heart and body are tools for accessing new information."
