“I choose to break any patterns that are holding me back from living my best life possible. I choose to release any limitations I have placed on myself. I honor myself. I honor my journey. I trust the flow of life... I see each new phase as a new opportunity to learn more about myself.” - Samantha Moultrup, The Soul Therapist.com
