Being in the health industry can do a major number on your head when it comes to body image.

So acknowledge here to yourself, ‘I am unique, and while there may be someone who is better than me at this or that, it doesn’t matter because they’re not me. So no matter what, they’ll never do it like me because that’s impossible.’ So embrace the quirks, embrace your individuality, embrace where you are in life. No one else is like you, and that is special, and that is unique.

Take your time, teach what you love, be unabashedly you, and try not to compare yourself to someone who's been teaching longer than you.

My biggest struggles have been my biggest teachers.

There's no need to be fearful when another person succeeds. In fact, joining forces and supporting fellow teachers (or co-workers) you believe in is one of the most empowering moves you can make.

I deal with negative, nasty comments on a regular basis. It's difficult to digest because I've always been sensitive and it's a slap in the face to have someone respond cruely when you're trying to lift people up. It's been a huge lesson for me.

Just because you don't like it doesn't mean it isn't currently rocking someone else's world.
