The person who makes you more of who you really are is the one you’re meant for.

Toxic relationships poison you slowly and quietly. That’s what makes them so dangerous.

The funniest thing about perfectionists is that they rarely realize they’re perfectionists.

The best boyfriends are not the ones who make sweeping statements and grand gestures.

Old souls are sensitive, hyper self-aware, intuitive and, well, experienced. They’ve been through a lot, and that’s what’s made them who they are.

Traveling is a privilege, not a rite of passage.

The generations prior to ours had a radically different idea of what “success” is. Our grandparents aspired to have a home, keep food on the table, and find a life partner.

The universe is not deciding when you should get love based on how “well” you’re doing.

You grow up hearing the term “soulmate” being used interchangeably with “life partner,” the person you marry and want to spend the rest of your life with.

You’re engaging with life more, as opposed to withdrawing from it because you’re in a relationship.

If you take an honest look at your emotional patterns when you’re alone vs. when you’re with a community of friends or loved ones, you see that you thrive more in the latter. You think you are happier on your own, but you’re not really.

The opposite of addiction isn’t sobriety, it’s connection. The same is true for anxiety. Anxiety is being disconnected from the present moment, other people, or yourself.

The purpose of a relationship is not to be loved perfectly, or forever. It is not to have our every whim and wish met and fulfilled.

Sometimes the thing you keep trying to fix about yourself isn’t meant to be fixed.

Discomfort is what happens when we are on the precipice of change. It usually takes a bit of discomfort to break through to a new understanding, to release a limiting belief, to motivate ourselves to create real change.

Re-think what you’re doing. If it’s not coming to you naturally, it is not the right thing for you to be doing.

There are few people that have a harder time finding – and staying with – their soulmates than awakened, powerful women.

There’s a difference between “not being able to pay the bills” and “irrationally fearing that one day you may not be able to.”
