Quotes and statements within the interview:

“My landscape around me was just on fire!”
“And I knew that my professed values were totally clashing with my personal and professional choices.”

“I didn’t live happily ever after.”

What has your story gifted you?
- Grace
“I have failed more times than I can count. But I feel like in these failures, God has allowed me, to not only give myself grace but give other people grace.”
“And I’ve learned more through my own failures and shortcomings than I have from my successes. I just think we’ve been given grace so undeservedly, we need to dole it out to others and to ourselves.”
