"Ladies: Don't let the world, your doctor, or even your mama gaslight you into believing that they know you better than you know yourself. You'll end up with a marriage, a child, a career, or a life that you will forever regret just because some other miserable fool doesn't want you to be happy and free."
"Saying NO is its own form of freedom. When I finally figured this out, it changed my perspective on so many things!"
"Be comfortable changing your mind. Let your opinions shift. People say we get more conservative with age, but that's not true. I let beliefs go more easily now; I don't blindly hang onto my opinions, no matter what others believe. No one will have beliefs that line up exactly with yours, and that's a good thing. You can and should talk to absolutely anyone, no matter their views. Don't be stubborn - it's limiting. Let your thoughts evolve."
Trust personal knowledge of oneself and resist external pressure to make life choices. Use the word no as a tool to establish boundaries and protect freedom. Embrace changing opinions and allow beliefs to evolve rather than holding on stubbornly. Talk to people with differing views and value the diversity of perspectives. Recognize that letting go of rigid beliefs can broaden understanding and improve relationships. Prioritize self-determination, clear limits, and open-mindedness to build a life aligned with personal values and ongoing growth.
