Testimonials

Dr. Sweta Chawla

“The best part was that she gave concrete strategies on how to counter chronic self-doubt, and then asked people to commit to try something new. I am so grateful that she cared so much about tailoring it to our needs and truly listened and delivered superbly.”

- Ingrid Lim, Emergency Physician, Kaiser

Laurie Marshall

“One thing I was really surprised about was how connected we all were. It seemed like when we shared each others pictures and concepts that a couple of us would have the same ideas."Of course it looked different and everything: but like water

was a theme, having an Africa, just over and over again, our minds were

automatically thinking alike.” Like I said this was wonderful for me. I’m a behind the scenes girl so just being open and sharing, this was definitely new for me. I’m looking forward to it. I learned that I can actually make a picture, that was wonderful for me because even though I like to color I’ve never drawn like this. I would have never done that (drawing/study).”
