Quotes:
“From 2010 to 2018, I was getting to the point where I wasn’t satisfied. I was undervalued but overworked and it was just not what I was cut out for. I was meant to do more.”
“I’m never going back! I’m never going to go back to working for somebody else.”
“It’s a superpower, I call it, hearing between the lines. Zeroing in on what it is you’re saying even if you don't think you’re organized in what you’re trying to tell me.”
