Your favorite motivation quote:
“Just when the caterpillar thought the world was over, it became a butterfly…”

Something YOU have written/thought/or say that could be considered as a personal quote:
It’s not perfect, and it never will be; so there’s no point in being afraid to make mistakes and fail. Failure paves the road to success, and learning how to make mistakes and fail with humility, without beating ourselves up, is one of the most courageous, empowering and self-loving choices we can make in life.

What do you like about SWIHA/SWINA/SOY?
That’s a hard question to answer, because it was so many things. From the necessary knowledge and tools to become a certified clinical hypnotherapist and transformational coach, and start a brand new career and life path helping others; to the expanded view and additional training on some of the modalities I was already familiar with; to the life-changing personal transformation I went through in the course of my program; to the fantastic instructors and awesome classmates I got to meet (some of whom I still keep in touch with)… Hard to choose!
