From the episode: "What happened to you before is good information to have, but it can be a detriment to the situations we're having now because it forces us into a pattern of what existed before us." - Brandy Little
"We are a series of rough drafts, and if you look at the final copy of most things, they're nothing like what their first draft was. It's just constant revisions." - Brandy Little
"If we aren't consciously thinking about each moment, then we ended up falling into those patterns of the past and almost imprisoning us from being something in the present and into the future." - Brandy Little
"Don't be an autopilot anymore." - Tonia McIntosh
"Presence becomes awareness." - Brandy Little
"When I feel like things aren't working, I try to change the scenery or do something new, and it all feels like it's working, 'I got out of this pattern', but that's not true. That's a trick, a disguise. There's so many things you can do externally that, for awhile, will feel like you are making changes and like you're forging a new path, but the truth is because all of these things are external we haven't really done anything. If your heart doesn't change, then nothing else really matters." - Tonia McIntosh
"You have to change internally, and, if you don't have practice doing that, it's so hard to know how or where to begin, and what to even do. But that I do believe the heart is the way to create a new path." - Tonia McIntosh
"I think fear disguises itself as many things." - Tonia McIntosh
"Pain is an indication something's wrong. It brings attention and awareness, and then you can start working on it." - Brandy Little
"How many of us are masking things and not even admitting that they even exist because of some idea of strength that we've built up in our minds." - Tonia Mcintosh
"I've seen how beautiful vulnerability is and known how connected I feel to someone who's actually showing the pain that they might have, or whatever's going on inside." - Brandy Little
"I found myself apologizing for crying. I lost my dad and I'm like, "Oh, I'm sorry I'm crying." What! Why am I apologizing for this thing? Why are we making it wrong to show this of ourselves?" - Brandy Little
"People judge your pain or judge the amount of time the pain takes to heal, but we're all different. The healing journey is different for all of us." - Tonia Mcintosh
"Strong doesn't have to mean the same thing for everyone, and, for me, being strong means that I cry." - Tonia Mcintosh
"Anger is the catalyst for so many beautiful things and changes in the world." - Tonia Mcintosh
"Anger is a signal that something's not right for you. It's foolish to ignore any of the emotions that are coming up within you, they're all information." - Brandy Little
"You should never know what's going to happen." - Brandy Little
"External things are more the catalyst for the internal things. They're the things that might help set off that internal fuse, but the internal work has to happen." - Brandy Little
"The internal work never ends." - Tonia Mcintosh
