Top Episodes Quotes
- “I continued to build a brand very quickly and at the expense of myself. Not only was I burnt out, I was like, I just remember, maybe I've talked about this before, but I knew it was bad because someone just sent a message, like, a DM being like, oh, this episode wasn't very good. And I was like, oh, no. Like, what happened? And she was like, I don't feel like you even know what you're talking about. Like, it looks like you've like, googled things, which obviously was not true. And a normal person would have been like, okay, this person is just trolling. Like, it's not serious. Like, it's just like a random account with like a blank page. But I responded and I was like, oh, no. Like, is there, like, a part, like, is there something specific that you feel like has there's been misinformation? Like, we can absolutely correct it or send you to, like, the resource that we use so that you can, like, look into it yourself. But I think they, like, just said something back and I just cried.“ by Simran
- “It is, like, embarrassing. My ego needed to get checked.“ by Simran
- “Especially when you're a social person, it's important to have those checklists at the start while you're still working on developing better boundaries in that sense, purely to help yourself to recover.“ by Maiya
- “If you stop sprinting and you just walk, you are still moving forward. You are just moving forward at a pace that is sustainable and healthy and healthy and you'll actually get there in the end, as opposed to, like, sprinting and then burning out and not even making it.“ by Simran
