Quotable Moments:

“Being intensely driven and focused isn’t a flaw.”

“Your drive, your focus, your ability to work towards your goals these aren’t traits to dim – they arethe very things that will help you build something meaningful.”

“I don’t think there is balance – it’s about alignment.”

“When people feel safe and in their right environment, and you set the stage, connection is much more possible.”

Brené Brown quotes:

"Practicing courage, compassion, and connection in our daily lives is how we cultivate worthiness. The key work is practice...WE invite compassion into our lives when we act compassionately toward ourselves and others, and we feel connected in our lives when we reach out and connect."

"Hope is a function of struggle. We develop hope not during the easy or comfortable times, but through adversity and thebelief that we can create change."

"Faith isn’t an agreement to a set of beliefs, it’s a place of mystery where we find the courage to believe in whatwe cannot see and the strength to let go of our fear of uncertainty."

“Hope fuels action.”

“Hope and faith balance out and build resilience.”

Three Episode Takeaways:

1. When we’re not in alignment and there’s zero balance, that’s when things can get really chaotic. One way to view segments in life are as chapters and each chapter informs the next. Without those previous chapters we wouldn’t havegotten those life’s lessons.
2. When people connect it can facilitate community. It allows people to open up. In-person events engage all senses providing more depth of a connection. It’s a whole different energy.

3. Events have 3 core elements: the design, the planning, and execution. Most of us feel good about 1 of these things. The way a host gets people comfortable is by exuding confidence that all of the elements are handled.
