“We have to be really thoughtful about how we approach people. We don't know their story. We don't know what they're coming in with or what they need to gain. But what we do know is that people learn from people when we make them feel safe, when we have logic behind what we're doing, when we make it fun, and when we're memorable with what we're trying to say.” – Dr. Christie McMullen
“Every mountain that appeared in front of me, I decided to climb it and I recommend everybody do that. I'm all about the happiness, the challenging yourself and feeling better and learning more about yourself in those challenges. Because once you do that, you're going to be more confident the next time you do it.” – Kristin Massey
“I highly recommend just choosing and curating the stories that you want to in the world that you think need to be told, but that nobody else knows apart from you because you've just uncovered the stories.” – Tash Doherty
“Whether you want to publish a book or get paid to be a writer as your job, there are so many different ways to earn money as a writer.

“I know that impostor syndrome is real because I have faced it, and I still face it. But you have a story to tell, and nobody can tell your story quite the way you tell it.” – Derrick M. Jackson

“Good people make a difference in this world, and when we find good people, we need to gather them together in a community, and things beyond us will happen.” – Amy Olmedo
“We all are living out our story. We don't all get to choose the manner in which our story begins; however, we do have the power to write what's on the pages.” – Travis Patton Sr.
“Writing is always there for you, even if life stops you from writing for a few days, weeks, or years. It's like yoga; you just have to get back on the mat.” – Sarah Seltzer
“Nurses are not heroes, we're not saints, we're not angels. We're just people trying to do a job, and that job just happens to revolve around probably the worst day in your life. So please, just be nice to your nurse.” – Jennifer A. Johnson, RN
"It's one of the things that people in both films and books woefully underestimate—the amount of time and effort. We can write a screenplay that's fantastic, we can write a book that's amazing, but that's just a third of it. Getting it out there to the world is a whole different thing." – Autumn Karen
