“When I'm in a toxic situation, I change my tactics. I don't expect the other person to act in a nontoxic way. That just leads to disappointment. Instead, I am focused on speaking the truth, guarding my sanity (trying to understand crazy behavior just makes you crazy), and doubling down on prayer: 'Heavenly Father, how do I best honor and serve you in this situation?”

“Human beings are also vibrating, and each individual vibrates at a unique frequency. Each one of us has the sensory skills necessary to feel the vibrations of others.”

“Women who feel unattractive generally don’t believe it when someone tries to
assure them that they are beautiful. If beauty sickness were that easy to cure, I
wouldn’t be writing this book. Instead of messages that reinforce the idea that
physical beauty is an essential part of womanhood, we’d be better served by
changing the conversation altogether. If we want to improve women’s physical
and mental health, we need to spend less time talking about beauty and more
time talking about issues that matter more. We don’t need to talk about beauty in
a different way. We need to talk about it less.”
