Notable Quotes:
“My mom always said, 'Speak more than one language.' Like, that is awesome. Because I wish I could say I can and I could.”
“When women get a divorce, it's just like they are reborn. Like, their life's true.”
"You can't live in fear. We have a life. It's a short one. We never know. That's why I say when I go list your property, and I see a dress with a tag. I tell my sellers. ‘You know what? I am not listing your house.’ But what happened in there? Wasn't everything staged? Wasn't everything clean? Was not everything perfect just like we talked? But I see that dress with that tag in the closet. It just breaks my heart. Why haven’t you worn it?"
"It's not money. It's not your career. That’s not the motto. It's happiness. But there's people that have so much money and they're so unhappy."
"You gotta be selective of what you absorb into your ecosystem and understand that every single day we're flying the coop in one way or another and it's okay.""
