“Being able to say you are a conscious, responsible human being is more important than losing 5 pounds or having abs. Women are tired of being told what they should look like. It’s time to normalize normalness. And I want to create that safe and honest space for people to feel good about themselves.” InSTYLE

“I think my parents instilled in me at a very young age the ability to stick up for myself. If you don’t like something, you say it. If something makes you uncomfortable, you tell somebody. I’ve always had a good handle on that.” InSTYLE

“They told me I’m not pretty enough, not good enough. I’ve learned if you can hold your own hand, you’re okay.” People Magazine

“I always have a book, because in the job that I’m in, you wait around a lot. I cannot be on my phone. Social media makes me anxious when I spend a lot of time on it, so that’s why I escape into books.” ELLE

“I’m a big reader, and I’m really big on investigating myself, who I really am. What brings me peace is when I get very still and get in alignment with myself. In that space, I feel like everything is okay. I’m trying to not operate out of fear anymore. I spent a lot of time in fear, so I’m just trying to operate and trust. I feel more clear on who I am and what I want.” People Magazine

“Our generation talks so much about self-love and body confidence, yet I believe we have the most unrealistic standards of any other generation. Insecurities, especially in girls, are really affected because of social media…that need for validation.” GL

“Hurt people hurt people. And if we don’t break that cycle, if we don’t heal, the hurt will continue. The real flex is staying kind no matter how cruel the world gets. That’s kind of been my mission recently, to stay kind, to stay grounded, no matter how much the world tries to hurt me or my family.” ELLE

“I am so fearful of disappointing the people in my life, or even people in public. I want to live up to people’s expectations, which is something that I need to get over, but I’m also scared that, I don’t know, maybe someone will get to know me too well and realize that I’m not all that.” ELLE

“I’m classically good at avoiding things, I just didn’t want to deal with my issues. And those are the things I’ve been running from since I was a kid. I’d only learned to show emotion when I was acting because I didn’t feel worthy enough to feel those things as myself.
I have so many friends. They ride for me and I love my friends so much, but it felt like a lot of the time, they were shallow relationships only because I wasn’t able to be honest about the things I was going through. I didn’t want to burden anyone. It was also like, ‘What if people leave? If you any of my friends, they would say they’d never seen me cry. And my old friends, the ones I’ve known since I was 13, they all came over and we started crying. They looked at me and, You deserve a chance to have joy.”
Before I was always into the quick fix of healing, going to a week-long retreat or a course for trauma, say, and that helped for a minute, but it didn’t ever really get to the nitty-gritty, the deeper stuff. This time I realized that 12-step treatment was the best thing, and it was about not being ashamed of that. The community made a huge difference. The opposite of addiction is connection, and I really found that in 12-Step.” Vogue
