I never would have imagined that my life would change in this way.

I mean, it sounds crazy, but it's really true.

I'm a completely different person than I was 10 years ago and a completely different person than I was a year before that when I wrote the book.

It's how it happens.

So what I would say to that person is you can start small.

Just start with the idea of yes to talking to yourself like you matter.

Like even just the voice that you give yourself in your head, the way you treat yourself.

Even just try that.

Like start saying like,

I'm not a fearful person.

I'm okay with this.

You know, the words that we say to ourselves, it's like casting a spell.

After a while, you say them enough, you know, they start to really mean something to you.

You start to believe them and you start to live them.

And so if you've given yourself enough negative self-talk, that stuff becomes real after a while.

I want to make sure you just heard what Shonda Rhimes just told you.

The words you say to yourself are like a spell.

They really are.

And I feel like the magic can be terrible that they work on you, or it can be amazing.

But the words you say to yourself start to become real to you the more that you say them.
