Quotes from This Episode by Camaron Brooks:



  • “My identity as a person really kind of exploded when I became a mom, and I didn’t know who I was and I think that’s because I had a false sense of identity based on career and a lot of other things. But motherhood kind of cracked that all open. We all go through that.”

  • “Connection is why we’re here.”

  • “Everything in life is a practice, there’s no finish line…”

  • “How am I treating my body? How am I taking care of myself?”

  • “I see aging as a beautiful process…”


Other Quotes from This Episode:


 



  • “What can you do to promote world peace? Go home and love your family.” - Mother Teresa

  • "A miracle is a shift in perception from fear to love—from a belief in what is not real, to faith in that which is. That shift in perception changes everything." -Marianne Williamson
