Quotes:


"And I think a lot of entrepreneurs are like that. They're like, I'm gonna go out and change the world. And you get to a point where you're like, actually the most important work I can do is within the four walls of my home." - Laura Meyer


"Because, yes, I can impact lots of people with my podcast and my Instagram reach and all that kind. But at what cost?" - Laura Meyer


"I mean, I would not wish it on anybody, but I also. My priorities changed so much, because the only way to survive something like that is to know who you are outside of achievement. Because if you don't know who you are outside of achievement, you are in a very dark place." - Laura Meyer


​"You've done a lot of deep work on yourself, which actually is one of the most key things in order for you to be able to show up for your kids in a healthy way."
- Stephanie Dove Blake
