I've noticed from my fans that we hide the things that we are facing.

I wish I had known that it's OK to stand up for myself. That it's also OK to not be liked but to be respected, and I always want to be liked.

Now there are times when I have to make big decisions as I'm now running a company and that it's OK to go with being respected first.

We all look up to these strong women who we see in magazines and on TV, but it's even more empowering to realize that change comes at the smallest level. It starts with us. It starts with me and my best friend, who I'm out on a walk with today, hearing about the amazing things she's doing for her kid's school. It can be everyday heroes and everyday women who work 9:00 to 5:00 and have kids and still balance a healthy social life.

I don't worry about money because I no longer have the fear mentality that I won't be provided for.

You have to go create your own fire and people are going to come to you if you create it.
