### Quotes for Outreach
1. "I mean, Sarah. You and I have learned a lot just in this last year. And so much in these master classes, the masterminds that we've been in, and that's stuff that I just want to share. Don't you?" [27:27]
2. "I have an idea for you. And those ideas would just come. And I don't believe they were from me. I believe that was just the gift of the, the spirit of God within me, that there's like a connection. And if there's anything that I got out of, of being two years in a monastery, you learn to listen to the voice of God." [29:57]
3. "And so, you know, yesterday was just Resurrection Sunday. And it's a powerful thing, you know, to see how lives can be changed by just knowing Jesus. Yeah. And I say Jesus in respect that I respect. I respect people's, you know, beliefs about, you know, the power of manifesting and, you know, how the whole thing about attraction and the vacuum law of prosperity and all of the principles, because they're all based in, you know, our God who's the creator. And so, whether you call it the universe or, you know, whatever thing, it's a simple fact is that they work. And when you give credit to where credit is due, then there's actually an overflow of blessing." [20:02]
4. "And so, you know, it was learning that whole process. And, you know, maybe we can dive into that a little bit because my last book that I just submitted, it was a submission for a chapter in a book called Author's Playbook. And it's been one of my favorite works so far. And what my whole chapter was about, it was developing your voice. And your voice is really, I have an acronym for it, where it's your vision that conveys your originality, your inspiration, your creativity that you embody. And so your voice is really you. It's not you trying to be somebody else. It's not you modeling somebody. It's you really speaking what's inside of you that you want to release to the world." [02:13]
5. "And so, you know, but I found that when I listen to my voice and when I told the story and then I had the transcript, I think. You know, I forgot this part or, you know, that sounds really good or whatever. It just really started to flow. And so to me, really becoming a good writer is really becoming a storyteller. But to find your voice, it's really in podcasting." [06:09]
