"I've realized that many times, when something bad happened to me, I would overthink it, going over it again and again in my head, making it bigger than it was. But now, I've learned to say: 'No, this doesn't serve me,' and stop it—and that has been really amazing for me."

"It was an incredible and deeply valuable experience—I consider it a great gift. I am so grateful for this abundance. This year, I faced several family challenges, and I told myself, 'I want to be there,' and you welcomed me with open arms—thank you so much. I have received so much, because in these past months, I have made truly life-changing decisions, and I feel strong. I have gained so much clarity. This has been something truly profound in my life."

– Gerardo González
