QUOTES & SNIPPETS

“If your kid sees you cry sometimes, that’s a gift to them”

“Human beings are broken and that’s the beauty of us - it’s what we make of that”

“There’s a thousand different ways to be a boy or a man, and there’s a thousand different ways to be a girl or a woman”

“Instead of thinking ‘I'm anxious’ - try thinking: ‘there's something in me that’s anxious;’ then everyone can muster that strength to nurture themselves”

“There’s a generational uprising. It’s angry and it’s tender at the same time. These kids have got heart and they’ve got backbone. And they know what’s what.”

“We are wired to have fatherly, sisterly, and motherly feelings. A human organisation will only really hum when we honour these”

“Any organisation that has money as its purpose is automatically doomed to fail, because money is a myth, it’s a fairytale.”
