Freedom
“Throughout my life, my biggest journey has been to find freedom from the things that caused me suffering. Freedom from anxiety, freedom to be who I am. All I wanted was to help others find their freedom. Freedom to be all that they are, freedom to find joy and happiness and fulfillment.”
Living Fearlessly
“Did I live fearlessly? Did I do things that scared me? Did I do things that I didn't think I could? Did I say things that would perhaps make a difference? But I felt scared to say, did I live fearlessly? And the third thing, the biggest one of all was did I make a difference? You know, did I make a difference in people's lives? Did I help people?”

Gratitude
“Gratitude was the bridge from despair to hope. Gratitude gave me energy. Attitude led me to being more resourceful.”
Creating Certainty
“Life is up to us. You know, I suffered great anxiety growing up and into my 20s. And when I finally realized that life is up to me, it's all up to me. It's the first time in my life I ever felt totally in control. Like this isn't a big responsibility. That should scare you. It's a truth that should set you free because you are in control. Life is up to you.”
“What I encourage everyone, each and every one of you to do is to create your own certainty. I want you to take the time to think about what are the things that you do that make you feel strong, that give you energy, that bring you joy?”
Community in Humanity
“We are all human, and I know that every single person in the crowd is going to resonate in some way with my fear, my self-doubt, my pain, the things that I've been through. Sometimes all we need to know is that we're not alone in those dark moments. We're not alone in that self-doubt. We're not alone in that fear.”
