“…when they come to me for advice when they're sad or when they're angry and they're actually seeking me, that kind of fills the soul. They feel like I'm somebody they can trust.”

“…you were there when they needed you. I think that's the most important thing. Can your kids know that no matter what, they can depend on you?”

“When they don't know I'm watching them and they're just having fun, and they don't have a care in the world. In those moments I feel like maybe that has something to do with me.”

“The presence of mind to identify that it's not “one-size-fits-all,” you have to understand yourself enough to know how you communicate and adapt to how your child is and how they best engage.”

“That they know how to love well, because they were loved well. And unapologetically, you know, without any sort of hindrance. Know how to love their future husband or wife, and their kids, because they had it modeled for them and felt that and experienced that in their own lives.”
