Quotes:

"so I grew up in a very like hustle, high achieving culture, but you know, I was always kind of just following what I feel like I should do, what I should pursue. And I never, you know, I think so few of us growing up actually have clarity around like What we're meant to do."

"So I was like, okay what do I have to lose? So. I remember going to this conference and then being blown away because I just, it was like there's something inside of me that was being awakened that I didn't even know was there. And it was very exciting, but also very scary. Cause I was like, what is this? Am I going to be an entrepreneur?"

"I had just a crazy whirlwind journey of taking leaps of faith, in terms of work, especially where in the middle of the pandemic in 2020, I felt very strongly I'm supposed to leave my cushy corporate golden handcuffs job and leave it to go into full-time ministry working for a church, a nonprofit, which had no benefits, like half the pay. It was just a total drastic change."
