“So my advice to anyone is just very simple. Don't do it alone. Find people that compliment you, build you up, and like minds come together. Like hearts, like souls, come together in order to build something that's meaningful to them.” (23:48, James)

“What I believe my cure was, was the moment that I got to myself and said, I love myself too much to continue on this path. And that if I dedicate myself towards sharing abundance for the rest of my life, I will never go wrong.” (34:25, James)

“We're all human. So even doing healthy things and self-care doesn't mean we're not going to still experience different emotions or fears or troubles. It's just how we deal with them and ride through them.” (37:33, Dr. Sarah)
