• \u201cIt\u2019s a top/down, bottom/up approach. So we\u2019re hitting both angles of it, so that we can be as comprehensive and integrated as we possibly can.\u201d -Kaelene Curry [04:08]
• \u201cThe brain is not a muscle in a scientific sense, but it functions like a muscle in the extent that the parts of it that we use grow and get stronger. The parts of it that we don\u2019t get weaker. And we can actually train our brains to show up more consistently as the best versions of ourselves amid pressure, amid adversity, when things go wrong and when things are going right.\u201d -Dr. Amber Selking [12:27]
• \u201cBuilding relationships is what it\u2019s all about. If we don\u2019t have those strong connections throughout our lifetime, in a way, not to be cynical about it, it\u2019s kinda like what are we doing?\u201d -Kaelene Curry [15:34]
• \u201cIt\u2019s hard to fight for somebody and something if you don\u2019t care about them.\u201d -Dr. Amber Selking [17:37]
