“Relationships are such a mirror for life in general. The way we act in them is the way we act in life in general. And I think that’s why they’re so daunting to enter into, a lot of the time, especially if you have a lot of relational trauma.”
— Lenea Sims
“It doesn’t just because the leader is the leader doesn’t make them the most important person. There’s also people who are doing the ground work, and they’re equally as important as that leader who has the vision.”
— Lenea Sims
“Tapping into creative energy was kind of this Wellspring for me of self-acceptance and self-understanding and also self-development.”
— Lenea Sims
“There’s this whole other way of understanding what happens in people’s brains that is way less critical of the person and more so, understanding of the society that they come from, or of the background that they have. And so I find it so fascinating because it’s really just about how our social environments shape us more than like, we have a problem and we need to fix it as individuals.”
— Lenea Sims
