“We're positive reinforcement. We're not about punitive. We're not saying that you can't drink. What we're saying is, be responsible.” —Beth McBride “People don't change their behavior because we make them feel bad about it. Shame doesn't work. I would love for people to feel incentivized to make the right choice, supported in making the right choice, and feel that there's a cultural pressure to make the right choice because that is where we'll see a difference.” —Carli Seymour A sin...

“A woman who has fully realized her power and knows how to care for herself and her mind is not working against her— that is somebody you don't want to mess with.” —Kirsten Karchmer The fertility conversation is louder than ever, yet clarity feels harder to find.

“Music predated language. It validates how you feel… We're physiologically wired to inhabit the patterns that the music brings.” —Dr. Barbara A.

“The only way you're going to be able to grow wealth and get ahead is to start to do that today.” —Lacy Garcia Money stress does not get quieter, it compounds— late bills, confusing advice, and life changes make it louder.

You know more about your body and health, and if you really think that the answers you're getting from your providers are not in alignment with what you know, continue to dig." —Donna Piper Some days, it feels like your body is working against you—and no one else gets it.

"When you can love yourself and appreciate yourself, that's when you can go out into the world and love others. Peace on earth starts within.

"You get to decide your worth. No one can give it to you. No one can take it from you when your foundation is based on how much you love yourself. Loving yourself isn't egotistical, it's not selfish, it's a gift that you give yourself so that you can give to the world." —Beckie Kullberg Hating your body is exhausting. It steals your joy, warps your confidence, and turns every mirror into an enemy. What if you could break that cycle—not by changing your body, but by changing the way yo...
