Female friendships have sustained me from my earliest days as a child.

I've built 'The Conversation' from the ground up with no business training.

I tend to side with people who are considered the underdog. I have empathy.

Sitting down with the insightful Gabourey Sidibe was a wonderful experience.

Freedom is... not to be bound by my wounds. And to be able to eat cake every day.

Whitney Cummings is a very dear friend of mine, and she is a huge advocate for women.

You are the most important thing in your life. Put yourself at the center of your life.

I've learnt that if you can't get rid of something, you have to find a way to live with it.

I've often contemplated some kind of tummy tuck surgery, but I know this is not the answer.

Only when we are sick and tired of being sick and tired do any of us do something different.

You can lose who you are so easily when you're being so many things to so many different people.

My kids see feminism in action every day, and leading by imperfect example is how I'm raising them.

Learning how to be persuasive has been really crucial to my life both professionally and personally.

Persuasiveness takes finesse; it takes an understanding of human psychology. And intention is everything.

I share personal things about myself in the context of my interviews and in 'It's Messy' - but that's 20 percent of my life.

I had lived with abuse for many years, but the worst abuse has been at my own hands and the appalling situations I have tolerated.

I believe I was a codependent out of the womb and have been struggling to free myself from its vice-like grip for many, many years.

I was a workaholic, I had food issues, and I had body issues. I was in a lot of pain. My parents didn't recognise what was going on.
