Effect on Emotions

• It has helped me have a healthy relationship to my emotions in a way that I never could, and for me, mindfulness helped me build the psychological strength and container to accept and process my emotions without judgment or overwhelm.

Thoughts on Breathing

• I would say your breathing is the number one key to mindfulness to accessing your
• capacity to create the life you want, to love wholeheartedly. It is the most important thing because it literally is your life and it's how you grow your life, heal your life, expand your life, because as soon as you don't breathe, you're gone.

Bullying Story

• I was bullied by my older brother and by my parents. My biological father was physically abusive to me when I was young.
• I believe on the healing journey, we need to get our thinking to a place where we learn how to take responsibility for everything because when, in your psyche, you get to a place where you take responsibility for anything and everything, then there is no part of your psyche that can be a victim anymore.
