Quotes:

"The true key to happiness is changing your inner world."

"The way I approach this is I think about what can I change and what can't I change?"

"What is for myself and what am I doing to meet societal and external expectations?"

"It's the whole package. And yet we spend so much of our lives just focusing on the shell versus what the shell houses."

"I was looking at my face in the mirror and I could hear that little voice saying, oh, my God, look at the neck. Look at those extra lines around your eyes. Like I could hear that. But there was this other voice of like, oh, my goodness, look at you."

"Because if you don't change what's going on inside, what's outside will never matter."
