I mean our culture is obsessed with efficiency. We're like how can we do things faster, better, how can we do more. And in that, our ability to conversate, specifically to when we think about these last few years, I mean a lot of people have literally been in survival mode. We can barely carry our own answers to the questions, let alone shoulder the potential burden of someone else's answers." 10:04 Jenna: "I learned so much about grief. A lot of times we try to overcome grief, and what we forget is sometimes we just have to pick up the grief and start moving with it and building those muscles. You don't leave grief behind." 16:06 Jenna: "One of my greatest frustrations in being an online personality or having a brand online is a lot of times, people watch what you're doing online and they assume that's it. But people like you and I, we share like 2% of our lives online and we live 98% of our lives offline. And I want my life offline to be far richer and more beautiful than the life I'm presenting online." 23:08 Jenna: "Don't assume that someone cannot hold or understand something. But think about how you can communicate in a way that invites them to have empathy, to understand at a deeper level." 41:42 Jenna: "Without sadness, we don't know what joy feels like. Without fear we don't know what safety feels like. If we want these full lives, we have to experience full feelings. And a lot of us are just uncomfortable to just sit in them."
