QUOTES:
“When you know you’re doing something for other people, you feel this deep sense of meaning and purpose. Doing that around the holidays I think can be a huge, huge win.” [6:19]

“Bright lines will work, no matter what it is, as long as you want the outcome enough to essentially torment yourself.” [12:53]

“We cannot control other people. You cannot make them deal with their mental health. That cannot be your responsibility.” [22:55]

“The whole punchline of life is to live a joyful life of fulfillment - that’s it.” [34:42]

“Having those bickering, biting, trauma-filled exchanges are their own punishment. You do not need to make it worse by trying to change people, convince them to be otherwise, or whatever.” [44:20]
