In this episode April starts getting into some of the issues she began dealing with after losing her job. Here are some of her own go to quotes; "You are worth caring about!  It may be a new message but it is surely the truth. That voice that easily says "fool". It's familiar. But it's not the truth. It sounds right because what else did you know? Revel in this new message!""Some of us were taught that others come first. That we do not matter. And we end up being caregivers for those you choose not to live fully. The truth is we don’t owe anyone else our life. Do not feel guilty for choosing you.""When you spend time trying to please others you lose who you are and lose sight of your own needs." "There's nothing to lose and everything to gain when you put it all out there."
