‘If you don’t know what your mind is telling you, you can’t change the narrative.’- Julia Pimsleur

When you celebrate yourself, you will feel good about yourself. You will have more energy to keep going.

‘When you think of your obstacles as speed bumps, they begin to feel more manageable.’– Julia Pimsleur
