“What steps have you been working towards? What do you have in the pipeline in order for you to feel a little bit safe and secure, you know, because taking the leave, you don't really feel safe and secure. But like, what can you do for yourself and for your family? So really make a plan, it doesn't have to be extensive.” - Suzy Sevier

“When you recognize that each step that you take is a win, it doesn't matter if it's a small one or a big one, it's a win because it's helped move you closer to your goal...So take the time to recognize and acknowledge that and celebrate all of those small wins, because they all mean something. Like I said, it's that 1% better every day. So make sure you acknowledge your 1% better every day.” - Suzy Sevier
