Quotes: 

• “Let go of the deep, heavy burdens that we are carrying on a day to day basis. These burdens age us.” [00:10:16 ] 

• "We women have capacity to transform the world around us and our future generations. And we underplay that capacity, we underplay that responsibility." [00:27:15 ] 

• “If we can create joy even in the midst of these traumas and dramas and elevate ourselves beyond the physical realm that we are facing, we're not only going to impact our cellular system and slow down that aging process... but we are also going to create a stronger conscience throughout the world that is more elevated, more powerful, more peaceful.” [00:11:48 ] 

• “Joy is not just a fleeting moment of happiness. Now, we can all be happy momentarily, and then it goes away… but joy is actually a state of being. [00:37:15 ] 

• “Don't try to do all of it at the same time. Pick one thing that feels doable in the life that you live today. And even if it's only 30 seconds, if you're able to be consistent in that 30 seconds of focus internally... that will make a difference to take you that much closer to connecting with your own joy.” [00:53:39 ]
