“Be the kind of person you want to date.”

It’s okay to let go of anyone who doesn’t hold you in your highest light.

The hallmark of secure attachment is being able to remain connected to yourself while also being connected to others.

Do not cling to what isn’t meant for you.

You don’t have to act on every thought and feeling you have.

It’s not your job to save people from their feelings.

Heartbreak does not have to be a meaningless experience. For many, it is a spiritual catalyst – a pathway to awakening to ones deepest desires for love, purpose and connection.

You are not separate from love, love is all that you are.

Feelings don’t have to make sense to be valid.

Heartbreak does not have to be a meaningless experience. For many, it is a spiritual catalyst – a pathway to awakening to ones deepest desires for love, purpose and connection.

Some of us are here to be the change-makers in our family system. We’re here to end generational trauma and start passing down love, instead of pain.

You are not responsible for carrying the pain, trauma, or shame of your mother and father. Release yourself from carrying what was never yours to carry.

Anger is as sacred and valid as any other emotion.

Your body is meant to be the safest place for you to live.

Living in each moment with the awareness that nothing is permanent is an invitation to love more deeply, to speak more honesty, and to align with whispers of our soul.

Take the time to learn your partner’s heart.

Rejection is redirection.

Your peace doesn’t have a due date.

My first date ever, I was kind of nervous, so I was like, ‘I’m going to bring Brady to this walk on the beach with this girl,’ and she was like, ‘Oh my gosh, I have a King Charles Cavalier, too.’ I’m like, ‘Money, perfect, amazing.’

I’m not really a first-move kind of gal.

I think online dating is a way of procuring people. Like Facebook and Myspace, it’s the way that people connect now and procure small children and sometimes dodgy relationships. I don’t think it’s very healthy.

I try not to date musicians. It’s all I’ve dated. Every guy I’ve dated is a musician. Obviously, it’s not working.

Online dating is cool but I think Myspace and Facebook is a little bit off key.

I’m cute – and God I hate that. Because that’s not cool. I’m like your niece, and nobody wants to date their niece. It’s the chubby cheeks. The whole reason people voted for me on American Idol is because I’m an everyday, normal girl.

I do think that acting is such an unpredictable job, and you’re away a lot. If you’re dating somebody outside the industry, it can be hard to understand that.
