Love yourself enough to say enough is enough when enough has become enough.
“Don’t wait on anyone to tell you what you are worth. You have to be the first person who knows what you are worth and can say what you are worth.”
When we know our value and can express our value, we are able to teach others how to honor what we bring to the table.
