Quotes:
[00:07:10] Kate: Other people were in high school or graduating college in four years going to law school, and I never did that. And I kept looking at it as somehow a deficiency in me rather than, oh, once I saw my chart and I was like, “Wait, this can be a strength.” [00:07:25][15.0]
[00:09:22] Kate: How do I know it's a yes? It's almost like my arms feel like they're filled with effervescent bubbles. [00:09:29][7.4]
[00:14:20] Kate: I've gotten pretty good in life realizing if the green lights keep happening, which they seem to in this new endeavor that I'm going down, it just keeps unfolding and blossoming and getting bigger, then that's definitely an indication or a sign that I'm on the right path. [00:14:36][15.2]
[00:21:17] Alyssa: I think often we sort of plow our way through business and we're like, okay, I got to get the email list and I got to get the social media going or I got to get my offers down and and it can cause things to feel sort of disconnected. [00:21:35][18.3]
[00:25:11] Alyssa: If you take a nontraditional path, it's really nice to see other people taking a nontraditional path. So you're like, “What could that look like? Oh, it doesn't have to look exactly the same for everyone.” [00:25:24][12.9]
