» From original transcript:
"Think about two children...one of them is getting the message that they're flawed in life and that they need to change who they are.
"The other one is celebrated for who they are. They're honored, they're accepted, they're embraced. How do we think they're going to enter into the world, experience the world?
"It's going to be completely different because that feeling of being flawed is like a thousand pound weight on top of you, everything that you do. It affects literally everything that you do. It prevents you from your light shining bright.
"And then there are some kids who are raised with parents who are very supportive, with caretakers, with people around them. They're very
supportive of their uniqueness. And those kids are so remarkable. They don't have that feeling flawed holding them back.
"And I just imagine if you had that message, if I had that message that we didn't have to carry that weight. It is hard to change that feeling flawed piece. It's hard. It's like so seeped into your bones because it's your inner child. It's stuff that you learned with a child's brain."
