Main quote:

I learned and grew so much from the experience of having people who don't know you make judgments about you, make threats against you, come to your home. And if anything, it helped me step into my highest self and feel more confident in who I am and operate even more closely to my North star. Because if every day I knew I was acting in that way, what people said about me meant so much less because I couldn't be shaken. I knew the place from which I was working. I knew the values that I hold.

‌Additional Quotes:

Honestly, I just got scared. And I'm sad to say that because I didn't want to be scared and I didn't want them to 'win'. But I just couldn't do it. If I didn't have kids, I would have just kept going. But I had my family to think about. Ultimately I just felt that it was going to erode me and age me in a way that was going to make me less effective.

To me, success is going to be when a single mom can run for office and be in the legislature. That takes support. It takes planning. It takes thinking.

Sometimes we have this thing where we want to look back. I think we need to just accept where we're at and then focus on what we're doing next because when we're holding on to the thing that we chose or didn't choose to leave, it's taking away from the things that you can be doing and building right now.
