Powerful Quotes from the Episode

"It'd be grateful for what you have experienced, take the learnings from it, so you can have even more gratitude and love yourself. Because truly, it's never too late to make choices and use your voice and ask for what you want."

"In my marriage, I couldn't do that. I wasn't allowed. It was very transactional. And when I asked for what I needed or what I wanted, I got crickets. So that was the abuse that I tolerated. And I tolerated it is silence."

"I discovered that not only that golf and life are direct reflections of each other. So what was going on in my golf game was going on in my life. I was angry, frustrated, felt like I was isolated and alone."

"90% of our thoughts are not our own. They come from our imprint years or zero to seven... we learned what we learned from the people from the people that are closest to us."

"I was the definition of a people pleaser. I did everything that everybody thought I was supposed to do and everybody told me what I was supposed to do."

"You can't help other people unless you help yourself first... because you haven't released the blocks around what is actually holding you back from getting what you want."

"Everything that happens to us, good, bad, or ugly, is there to teach us a lesson. And the lessons we learn is something positive and it's going forward."

"It's never too late to discover that voice and that authentic you, your true purpose in life and what you were put on this planet to do."
