“Where we've come and where we're really getting to is realizing that sex is an experience and it's expansive and it's ever evolving and changing. And so, as we start to understand more about sex and erotic identity, it can't separate that from understanding that consent is dynamic.”

“That's what I think about when I start thinking about the intersectionality of trauma and intimacy, all those ways that we may become paralyzed, or we may go into fight or flight. Rather than being present and engaged in this moment and in this experience and being able to say the things that I want or don't want, now I'm in this place of sort of fear, trepidation, shame, guilt, all those things that come from really painful experiences in our history.”

“And so much of where we step into the mud or get into these yucky spaces is because something is happening with us that we haven't been aware of that is reminding us of something before. Like I said, there is a function and purpose to every behavior. We breathe oxygen because we need oxygen. When we're yelling and screaming, there's a reason why we think we need to yell and scream.”

“If you're going to go through a divorce, you're going through two divorces. There's the legal divorce, which is a legal system set up by the states with judges and lawyers and clerk of the courts or whole judicial system. And then there's the emotional divorce. That emotional divorce will not end until at least the legal divorce process has ended. You cannot get over or through your emotional divorce until your legal divorce is over.”

“There's a lot of ways to find who you are on a daily basis, but also make time for those friends. And if you are looking to your spouse to be your hundred-percent rock and support, you're looking at the wrong person because that doesn't happen. You don't share every last thing with your spouse.”

“Live your life, not your divorce. If you're going through it, you're not going to get that moment back when you could have spent quality time with your family, but you were thinking about your divorce. When you're out with your friends, enjoying coffee or drinks or dinner, and enjoy the moments with them. Don't talk to them about all this. Get a mental health professional and talk to them.”

“Food is not just nourishment, it is entertainment. It's what we celebrate over. It's what we mourn over. It's how we break bread and bond over things. Everything is surrounding food, our culture, our history, our relationships, everything. Food is everything.”

“Important advice I would say to anyone that's even thinking about changing their diet in any way is first, you have to want it. And second, don't be so hard on yourself. There is no such thing as perfect and aiming for perfection will never get you where you want to go. It's the small successes that will lead to ultimately your long-term success.”

“If you're bombarding your body with vegetables, fruits, grains, legumes, mushrooms, nuts, seeds, herbs, and spices that are rich in phytonutrients and fiber and antioxidants, all anti-inflammatories, your body's like, woo-hoo! Thank you! You're just getting out of your body's way and letting it heal itself, which is really all it knows how to do it no matter how old you are.”

“You don't have to do those acrobatic, visually impressive poses that you see splashed on magazines and in books, because those can be intimidating. You can just do a very simple practice consistently; I say at least four to five times a week. That's my personal opinion, to benefit and to really feel your best along with other things. I don't do yoga and isolation. It's one of my pillars of a healthful lifestyle.”

“Gentle slow yoga requires you or allows you to really focus on being present in the moment. At tuning into your body: how it feels, staying quiet, getting quiet and enjoying that quiet and that peace, that calm. It offsets our often frenetic, modern lifestyle. I think that's another key benefit.”

“I have always felt energetic. I don't feel the age I am, at least in my mind. So, I think that's all due to yoga and then other things that I do to maintain a healthful lifestyle. After age fifty, bodies are going through different changes, and you just have to be more mindful. It does require more maintenance, but you can make it fun. You can make it pleasurable.”

“Everybody, every investor should have some exposure to energy in their portfolio. After all, it's the basis of civilization. You've got to have it.”

“There's a tremendous amount of misinformation and misunderstanding about energy and where it comes from and how it's generated. In fact, this is pretty much without exception, all the energy in this planet comes from the sun one way or another. It's all solar energy.”

“Treat energy the way it should be treated, as a priceless commodity. Don't waste it and use it efficiently. That's the ticket really. When we came through the major energy crisis in the seventies, one of the things that came out of that is we got a lot more efficient in not wasting energy, improved insulation building codes improved so that we conserved energy. We got a lot of where we needed to get to back then by conservation methods. And conservation is still the cheapest thing you can do to save energy.”
