Memorable Quotes

"I get energized and I flourish within the context of connection and relationships. And so, I need to proactively be making new connections, cultivating existing connections, maintaining existing connections for me to feel passionate and feel alive and to thrive in many ways.” [00:27:30] – Jake Kauffman

 

"I also think women need exclusively female spaces for our own collective healing. And I think men more than ever need that as well. And for the collective healing, I think it has to be somewhat separate in other ways." [00:59:25] – Keri Ford
