Yoga teaches you how to listen to your body.

Cancer came back into my life twice in order for me to understand something, and I guess I still wasn't getting it. And my husband wasn't getting it, either.

We do have the ability to shift our paradigms - by shifting our belief systems, by working on ourselves, by looking very closely at how we show up in the world. It's why I'm into health and wellness. It's why my partner and I are very focused on creating a life that is about being connected; it's about being present. Because my life was probably so much in the past. I was so fearful. I was so fearful of the future because I was so scared of my past. So if you can work towards being present, then you can shift.

I think we should be passionately curious about what we do.

The prevalence of mental illness compels me to give it - and the people suffering from it - a voice.

I really believe that we all have the ability to come out of our story. But you have to tell your story first in order to come out of it.

There's no doctor in a white coat that's going to save you, or a system or a pill - it's always going to be you and the choices that you make.
