She shares these powerful nuggets of life wisdom:
- be genuine and authentic with yourself
- be with your discomfort
- in your stillness, feel and grieve
- when we're suffering, we need to feel felt and that we're not alone
- truths and aliveness comes from suffering
- believe in a power greater than yourself, because that's where trust comes in
- finding support and trust is indispensable
