QUOTES

“It seems to me that we spend an inordinate amount of time and attention on fixing ourselves when we could really be directing that out to serving others"

“When you bring consciousness to anything, things begin to shift”

“We focus on fixing our bodies. We spend $40 billion a year on beauty products. What if we actually took that money, took that time, took that energy and started fixing the world. Women would actually be in power”

“Good is towing the line, being behaved, being quiet, being passive, fitting in, being liked, and great is being messy, having a belly, speaking your mind, standing up for what you believe in, fighting for another paradigm, not letting people talk you out of what you know to be true”

"stop fixing your bodies and start fixing the world."
