Power Quotes From The Show
Establishing New Responses to Difficult Situations
Building Up Resiliency
Sometimes Love Swings A Sledgehammer
"A lot of people need not a drill sergeant but somebody that is going to call them out on their shit and give them direction. Many times that direction is going to be gentle and other times you have to be willing to take out the sledgehammer and shatter those beliefs in a super loving way. Sometimes love looks like being tough on other people so that they realize that if they keep doing something, other people are going to suffer forever." - Jeff Agostinelli
