“People shouldn't have to have discernment of spirit to know what you like and don't like. You need to communicate that because that's unfair, they shouldn't have to discern it.” - Dr. Deborah Smith Pegues

Key Quotes

“Because we tend to be so nurturing as women, it's a battle we have to be aware of. I do a lot of self-auditing...And I'm thinking, well, now why is that your responsibility? And so sometimes I'll back off and other times, I just want to show love.” - Dr. Deborah Smith Pegues

“I'm gonna go monitor myself. I don't want to do things I don't want to do just because I feel this false obligation.” - Dr. Deborah Smith Pegues

“The sooner we're able to manage our emotions and our feelings, the better off in life we will be because tough decisions are not based on feelings, they're based on purpose.” - Tommi Vincent
