Favorite Quotes:
I really became a human doing, not a human being. I was really so trying to optimize for overcoming this fear I had of not being enough. Callie Schweitzer
To me, a personal brand is what people say about you when you’re not in the room. Callie Schweitzer
I had all of my worth wrapped up in my job. I gave everything to it. I went through so many cycles of burnout. But I stayed the course out of fear and how much money I was making. I had lack of clarity, not knowing what was the right path for me. This is why I’m so passionate about helping women understand there’s a better way. Blake
I’ve been able to have it all, but it’s all on my terms and my way. And that may not be ‘all’ for somebody else. And that doesn’t matter because I get the things that I value and at the end of the day, that eventually creates the life that you want. Blake
