“You can have it all, but do you really want to? The key is knowing what truly matters to you and letting go of what doesn’t.” – Sarah Kahn
“Everything you’re doing is working. Even rest is getting you closer to your goal. Trust the process.” – Morgan Balavage
“The biggest disservice we do to each other as women is shaming each other for our choices. Success looks different for everyone.” – Sarah Kahn
“Hustle culture convinces you that you can never have enough, but the real power comes from knowing when to pause, reset, and move with intention.” – Morgan Balavage
