By becoming mindful of our cultural programming, we can step out of it.

Shame cannot exist in conditions of light, sunshine, and humor. So the very moment that you share your most shameful moments - and can learn to laugh about them - then the spell is lifted. And you, too, are free.

I want women and girls everywhere to know - deep in their bone marrow - that girls are born special, whole, and perfect, and nothing can alter that.

All health begins with how we perceive ourselves and our bodies.

No matter what you’re feeling, the only way to get a difficult feeling to go away is simply to love yourself for it. If you think you’re stupid, then love yourself for feeling that way. It’s a paradox, but it works. To heal, you must be the first one to shine the light of compassion on any areas within you that you feel are unacceptable.

Loving everything about yourself - even the 'unacceptable' - is an act of personal power. It is the beginning of healing.

True health is only possible when we understand the unity of our minds, emotions, spirits and physical bodies.
