Connecting with your inner guide, quieting all of the noise and dropping in and hearing what that voice says.” - Kate Anthony “Women are exhausted in their marriage I think because the entire institution of marriage is set up to serve and benefit men on the back of the labor of women.” - Kate Anthony “If you're in an abusive relationship, your partner is not in the relationship for the same reasons that you are. You're in this relationship for intimacy and connection, they're in it for power and control.” - Kate Anthony “Everybody's a work in progress.
