Favorite quotes from this episode:
[03:58] “Everybody’s core desired feelings—whether it’s courage, authenticity, connection, communion, rock and roll, water—they’re all qualities of the heart. It’s all about getting back to your heart.” – Danielle
[04:41] “I love that this is about simplifying, because I think that the true wisdom is always really simple.” – Danielle
[12:10] “If your business is not including making a social contribution and healing the planet, it’s not that you’re neutral and you’re doing no harm. You’re actually part of the problem if you don’t have a healing, contributive objective in your business.” – Danielle
[17:23] “You cannot rely [getting] your core desired feelings on someone else giving this to you. It can only be things that you give yourself.” – Mary
[26:18] “Our capacity to be in our feelings, know our feelings, express our feelings and P.S, be aware of everybody else’s feelings in the room, is a superpower. It’s the superpower that’s gonna heal the planet, and bring people together.” – Danielle
[30:19] “I write in pen. There’s no reason to erase. This is it. This is the truth.” – Mary
