Top quotes from Abagail on this episode:

At one point I realized, all of my ambitions in life centered around pleasing other people, but none of it was actually for me. You have to be willing to ask yourself why everyone else comes first and you’re the last person in line.
We hide from things because it’s hard and we don't know how to process. It feels easier to hide than to experience the pain of processing it, even though that’s what leads to healing.
Share your scars and not your wounds when it comes to being vulnerable on a public platform.
