đđ˝ COMPELLING EPISODE QUOTES FROM BEC:
âThe roadmap to motherhood doesn't stop. When you birth the baby, that's just one very, very cool rest stop.â
âLife is inherently uncertain. How we interact with that uncertainty is the foundation of every meditation practice, but it's also really the story of how your life unfolds.â
âEvery contraction you fight is one you have to do over.â
âIf you go into a yoga class and you're not a fan of the teacher, or it doesn't feel right, don't assume that it's yoga that's the problem. Don't write off the whole practice entirely. Assume it's them. Assume the teacher was the issue.â
âThe focus of yoga really wants to be just feeling your body move, just feeling what it feels like to be in different shapes, to breathe in a different way, to shift your attention from our everyday, very outward, very judgmental, very categorizing lens to a more inward, compassionate, accepting quality.â
