Key Quotes:

  • “I always have to put myself and my family first. And that’s what is important to me. And that I needed to help other people not to go through the same thing that I went through. So, that’s how it transcended. It was born from that trip, It was born from that soul searching.” – Monica Adwani
  • “Having a positive mindset doesn’t mean that you’re not going to have problems, everybody has problems, everybody has challenges. But it’s just a way that you approach that challenge, and not let it beat you down. Because we’re all worthy. And we all have our own, you know, set of skills and things to share with the world and you succeed on your terms like success doesn’t look or mean the same for everyone.” – Monica Adwani
  • “Whatever it is that you encounter through your entire lifetime, that it is meant to be. And if you find yourself in a situation where you feel uncomfortable, take this step. Because if you don’t take that step, you will never know what’s out there for you. So, that I think is the most powerful thing that I’ve learned through all this journey in the past like six months, it’s that if you feel uncomfortable, do not step back, step forward.” – Monica Adwani
