QUOTES
Kim: “And I think being a woman and being a lesbian, and coming out and living my life out loud, as I like to say, and I want my clients to live their life out loud, that you have to have the courage to face the shit that most people don't want to face. And that's whatever it is in your life. It's whatever it is in my life.”
Kim: “So again, this is the courage piece that comes up of the willingness to change, the willingness to pivot, the willingness to say, this is no longer suiting me, and changing gears.”
Scott: “Over the past however many years, there has been a secret plague, making Western society sick and it isn’t the Coronavirus. Actually, many people say there's a lot of plagues, but the one I'm talking about that is a secret one is a plague of alienation, and disconnect, people feeling disconnected from each other people feeling disconnected from themselves, particularly with regards to a lot of issues like purpose and spirituality, which are which historically, there were institutions that help them find that those institutions are still there. But a lot of people are in those circumstances and life changes occurred, people might need something a little bit may still find themselves lost.”
Scott: “Because achievement orientation, particularly in arenas, like sports, academics, titled degrees, can take us exactly where you're going. At the expense of purpose.”
Kim: “At the end of the day, it doesn't matter how well I work in that environment for someone else's success, the success of each person is up to them with the tools that they have. So forgetting the process. Life is about living. It's not about the destination. And we do this thing called life with connection with others.”
Kim: “The mindset that you have is in your control, if you consistently and it's not, you know, funky positive psychology, whatever “do do” stuff. If you don't believe that you're going to do something you won't.”
Kim: “You know, life is a marathon. And so you don't have to find your purpose tomorrow. You don't have to find what that is. I think it's bullshit to search for just a purpose. I think my purpose is just to exist and be the best I know how to be.”
Kim: “God gave you a brain in two feet, gave you hands if you know, that kind of thing. So it really is doing the work. But it starts with how you talk with yourself and how you say things to yourself. No one's gonna dangle a million dollars in front of you just because you're cute. You have to do the work.”
Scott: “I needed to adapt to the circumstances to what I was given and then succeed on the terms that I had.”
Kim: “It really is tapping into the strengths of a person and paying attention to who they are as people.”
Kim: “If you want to stay miserable, you will stay miserable. I was choosing to stay miserable in certain periods of my life because I thought I needed to settle for that shit. You know whether I stayed in an abusive relationship, whether I stayed with an abusive boss and a company that I worked in for too long, you know things like that, like we have a choice.”
Kim: “We are collective and need to be connected.”
Kim: “Once you stop learning, you're dead. So being willing to say, hmm, I have some skill sets. I don't know how to do this, I can learn how to do this. And that will get me out of where I am. That's this shift. That's the mindset shift that I talk about a lot.”
