"Growth means pushing yourself outside of your comfort zone. Remember, your dreams are on the other side of your fears. Courage isn’t the absence of fear but the willingness to feel fear but do it anyway. "
"We love to frame everything in the context of an overnight success, but success rarely ever happens that way. We don't hear about other peoples' struggles enough, so when we struggle we feel like failures because we're led to believe our heroes never dealt with the same difficulties, which is just not true. Everyone stumbles, but the great get back up and keep fighting."
"Be proactive, not reactive. Take action if you don't like something. Don't complain."
"My mum always told me to just keep going. It’s a lesson that applies to work and to life. Understanding that nothing is fatal builds resilience and helps you evolve and grow."
"Create your own luck. Rather than sitting around, waiting for your lucky break, put yourself out there and make it happen."
"Believe in yourself. Don’t be afraid to take a risk, listen to your gut and visualize your success. Trust that the universe will lead you to that success. We create our own realities."
"Ultimately, women can have it all, but they need to loop others in along the way."
"Networking mostly just means being nice. There's an assumption that when you're fresh into your career, networking is inherently opportunistic, but my best connections come from striking up normal conversations with people who are in my industry and becoming real friends with them."
"You should also have a network of other women (and men) that will support you on your journey. Don't try to go it alone."
