Assuming All the Assumptions

From the episode:
"I don't know what it is, and I'm okay with not knowing what it is." - Brandy Little

"You're also only seeing through your own lens too, and your own lens is so limited." - Tonia McIntosh

"You basically break your own heart constantly just by the thoughts that you have, because you put yourself through situations, you start visualizing all these scenarios, and you become completely immersed in these thoughts. Your heart is breaking because you believe that it's all true. You break your heart a million times, and you didn't even need to do that, because none of it really happened." - Tonia Mcintosh

"We have to leave room for our assumptions to be wrong." - Brandy Little

"When I travel abroad, I started to change my assumptions. After being burned and scammed quite a bit, I decided that, if I wanted to be safe, I had to assume that everyone was out to hurt me, harm me, or scam me. It really sucked because sometimes you just want to trust people, and I probably shut the door on potential cool experiences." - Brandy Little

"It's such an art form to learn how to weave through these things and like not let it change you." - Tonia McIntosh

"If you had to assign high school me two adjectives, one would be too trusting and the other would be naive." - Brandy Little

"If you lead with trust, those things can still happen, but when you're leading with fear, it's almost like you're guaranteed fear to come." - Tonia McIntosh

"I do believe everything happens as it should." - Tonia McIntosh

"Tonia and I have followed a non traditional life path." - Brandy Little

"That's what I need, and 'need' is the key word. If someone identifies something they need, listen, listen, listen." - Brandy Little

"I think the one thing that I trust the most of all is that everything does work out as it should." - Tonia McIntosh

"I do think that people that are meant for us are going to love you through all of that, and if you lose some people along the way, then maybe they weren't meant for you and maybe they'll come back." - Tonia McIntosh

"Don't force something to stay in your life, especially if it doesn't bring you joy." - Brandy Little

"I am just going to love what we had, release it, and look at what I do have." - Brandy Little

"You can look at what you have, or you can look at what you don't have." - Tonia McIntosh

"To trust myself enough means if something comes up, I'm going to be able to figure it out, or if something bad happens to me, I'm going to be able to make it through it." - Tonia McIntosh

"There's all these times where we're like, 'Next year I'll be on that trad path,' and it just never happens. And we realize that we're just not on the path that society's laid out." = Brandy Little
