notion preconceived-notions who-you-are
For somebody famous, it's weird anyway to meet someone, because they have a preconceived notion of who you are.
goes woman women
Tell me, what kind of a woman goes for an arrogant, unattractive, dandruff-laden billionaire?
produce
Hey, I don't produce my shows, I just show up to work!
sleep dancing priorities
I've lost 12 inches in three weeks. Every time I go for the costume fitting each week, it's smaller and smaller. I'm feeling great. I'm putting in the work. I'm getting a lot of sleep. Everything is on the backburner right now. 'Dancing' is my priority.
believe care want
I believe every woman has the right to any birth experience she wants, wherever she chooses and with whatever care provider she's comfortable. It's about doing your own due diligence and finding the best option for you.
important surrender process
During labor the most important thing is to get primal and surrender to the process.
wind owing dollars
“If I had been on 'Bowling for Dollars,' I'd wind up owing them money.”
hate fall feelings
I hate the feeling of falling - I'll never jump from a plane - but I love a good roller coaster. Go figure!
home jail members
Putting a family member in jail is a good sign there is something seriously wrong in the home.
divorce challenges kind
I had a really kind of yucky divorce and it was really challenging to get over that.
lying jeans size
I am wearing a size 28 Paige Jeans. Jeans don't lie, and I am just happy!
thinking careers long
Being fat worked, and I think that was what was confusing for me for a long time in my career.
girl home people
I was a girl and became a woman. Something about having the freedom at home to be in the position I wanted, to have the people I wanted, was empowering.
opportunity thinking hardship
My birth experience is not right for everyone, but it was so right for me. I am changed because of that experience, i saw my power and I felt my power, and it's gotten me through a lot of hardship. I tell myself that if i could get through that, I can get through anything. I think women are losing an opportunity by not aspiring to have births in which they are active participants.
