Christie Rocha's and Libby Ward's Ah-Ha Moments
“I know in my heart and in my logical brain that the thing that I am good at is putting our experiences and our feelings into words and empowering moms to advocate for themselves…I know that words, help, but they're not enough. And so I can feel that can feel defeating.” – Libby Ward
“Just let a ‘thank you’ be a ‘thank you.’ And not a ‘thank you, and’ or ‘thank you, but’…it's just ‘thank you.’” – Christie Rocha
“This industry is just constantly evolving, too. So it's not like…you learn something, and you're good to go. It's like you learn something, and then it changes also, and then you have to learn something else.” – Libby Ward
“It's not possible to not have the dual brain all the time…I am always thinking of different content that can be made. And I have to actively turn that off and just be present with my family.” – Libby Ward
“I would just say to other creators: that if you're feeling a need for deep connection and community, and feeling like a group, that you're not alone. And that if it feels like you're being excluded, you probably aren't. And I would just encourage you to find one other creator that you really want to connect with and intentionally seek out to connect with that one person.” – Libby Ward
