Quotes from this episode:
“It’s a sign of intelligence and character, which is 'strong convictions, weakly held'—meaning you're all in on whatever plans you have, but if new information comes your way, you pivot.” — Liz Davidson [:50]
“[Calling a coach] is definitely one of the best decisions I’ve ever made, especially because I have children. Making that decision for them, becoming educated for myself, and then passing on that information gives them the opportunity to focus on their purpose and goals.” — Latoya Pirtle [6:03]
“Ask yourself, am I being stubborn, or caught up in my own vision of life to the detriment of something that could be even better for me, and do I need to be more open-minded?” — Liz Davidson [17:16]
"Look forward and visualize what you'd like your life to look like. You've got to have some idea of where you're headed because that 'North Star' will help you to keep moving, and you've got to keep moving." — Julie Everett [21:58]
