Quotes:
I want to strip back a little bit of that niche-niche-niche, and expand into being Sorelle.
Once you live a fulfilling dream, you want to bring others along on the journey with you.

Quotes:
It's never just about the ex. It's recycled pain.
Hanging on to hope for someone else to change in order for you to be happy is a recipe for disaster.
We can be dating people who are amazing … but are they amazing for you? Are they the amazing fit for you?
Love is something that is created through time, getting to know someone’s character, through seeing them through different situations in life.
