If you don't step across the threshold of what you already know into the world of challenges, you never truly measure yourself.

The answers we're looking for are all within ourselves, we just need to become better connected, more present - to what we eat, to nature, to our surroundings and to our inner guide.

Since I come from a family of mental instability, and I have suffered depression myself, I knew that living in shame is senseless and painful, and that by talking about it, I have come to peace with it. The stigma behind people's suffering needs to end. We as a community need to embrace these disorders, try to understand them (if only just to talk about them) so that we can cease being defined by them.

I wanted out of my pain and that silliness, but I wanted an easy out. That's before realizing that there is no easy out. Before accepting that you just have to do the work.

I say to people, keep it simple. If you want to change your food, change your breakfast.

I don't take myself terribly seriously. It's why I can be incredibly honest about my life.

Sometimes you can't see your way out. The "dark night of the soul" - it's a reality for many, many people.
