• “[Limiting Beliefs] will stop us from moving in the direction of our dreams and our goals, right so it’s holding us back from living our best life or taking that promotion or doing the things, advancing us in careers.”  - Mara Palermo [4:29]
• “[When it comes to goal setting and] to know if it’s really true for you, because you can ask yourself why you want it and if you ask yourself why do you want it and if there’s any other reason besides just because I love it, then it’s not true.”  - Mara Palermo [32:03]
• “It’s starting to build that muscle of just overcoming things, then once you start overcoming some things, you’ll be able to overcome the big things that you don’t want to do too.”  - Mara Palermo [46:23]
