“Sometimes we have to step into discomfort in order to make well-being more accessible to people.” — Michelle Pellizzon
“Sometimes you get what you asked for, but it doesn't come in the package that you were hoping and getting used to, and deciding whether that's the right thing or not, or whether you're settling or compromising or not.” — Michelle Pellizzon
“We have different purposes and we are not competing with each other but lifting each other up.” — Michelle Pellizzon
“Each of us was brought here with certain missions and certain purposes.” — Ellen Bowles
“It can be exhausting when you feel like you're constantly outputting a very low input for yourself, but there's always those beautiful glimmers of moments like remembering the purpose, or getting a thank you message from a listener.” — Ellen Bowles
“Having responses from people about how they love your podcast could be the very thing that actually turns into financial fulfillment for you.” — Imani Quinn
“Instead of trying to reach out to 50 people, trust that the universe is going to put you in contact with the specific person you need to be in contact with.” — Imani Quinn
“You have free will but you're going to do the thing that you're being told to do because it's coming from inside of you.” — Imani Quinn
“Quantum is a way to manifest because you're condensing timelines, but we still have to acknowledge the system that we live in.” — Imani Quinn
“When people start to fall into working so hard towards their manifestation, they are actually falling into the capitalist mindset of ‘If I continue to work, work, work, work, work, I'll be rewarded.’” — Ellen Bowles
“Once you are done doing all that you can, allow yourself to release the control around it and allow things to flow in as they are supposed to be.” — Ellen Bowles
“We have to allow ourselves to step back and energetically listen when we're supposed to take action and when we're supposed to stand in stillness.” — Ellen Bowles
“Anybody you call into your life is reflecting something that you have within you that you just want to externalize.” — Ellen Bowles
“The reason we create superheroes or characters in society is that societally, we can't own the traits of the hero.”
