3 Value Bombs
1) Sometimes, your next step is not a step. It’s a leap. Look at the really big one and start thinking how you can take that leap first.
2) As an entrepreneur, know what feels like the most nurturing thing that you can do for yourself. Sometimes, it’s supporting your mental headspace, or finding a support group or mastermind that really feels nurturing.
3) If you make a decision that’s outside of your beliefs or the job that you’re in, then you have this fear that you’re not going to survive because you’re going to be cut off from the only life and people that you know, or the only way of living that you know.

[2:26] – Lori talks about the journey that started the idea of LitePink and brought it to life.

[8:25] – Reaching your highest potential through self care and self love.
- Self care is letting other people be wrong about you. Let go of others opinions and free yourself up of space – give yourself peace of mind.

- If you made a decision outside of your beliefs or the job that you’re in, then you have this fear that you’re not going to survive because you’re going to be cut off from the only life and people that you know, or the only way of living that you know.
- In order to support yourself around the pivot, look ahead and start creating a new group of people, a new support system, a new way of creating rituals as you are pivoting.
