Favorite Quotes:

1. “Work can actually be this source of well-being in people's lives. It can lift us up and make our lives so much better, even if it's just simply and profoundly that it allows us to live the life we want to live outside of our jobs. And it can also be the thing that destroys us.” –Kelly Mackin

2. “We spend around a third of our lives at work. So at the end of the day, work life is life. If you have ill-being at work, you're not gonna be able to have well-being in your overall life.” –Kelly Mackin

3. “As parents, we're so focused on our children. But if we focused more on our own well-being, we would be far better examples to our children to live their best lives.” –Blake

4. “Whatever pattern you're seeing in your work is also a pattern that you're seeing in your personal life. And if you are putting things into a silo, you're really not seeing the lessons that life is teaching you that are really there to help move you forward.” –Blake
