"Instead of complaining about your situation, actually do something about it. Playing 'poor me' just ain't sexy."

"Making someone feel obligated, pressured or forced into doing something of a sexual nature that they don't want to is sexual coercion. This includes persistent attempts at sexual contact when the person has already refused you. Nobody owes you sex, ever; and no means no, always."

"Be thankful to those who refuse to help you, for they force you to summon upon your warrior within."

"We can all make a difference in the lives of others in need, because it is the most simple of gestures that make the most significant of differences."

"Don't let lack of sexual communication get in the way of your pleasure any longer. Dare to ask the questions that will make sex so much more enjoyable, boost passion, and facilitate a deeper connection and intimacy in your relationship."

"Threatening a current or former partner isn't passion, or love, or heartache. It's violence, it's abuse and it's a crime."

"Erotic role-play is a powerful sexual outlet which can orgasmically release us from the shackles of convention and normality to express a side of ourselves we otherwise would not have opportunity to convey."

"Exactly what are you wanting to teach your children? -How to love and care for themselves, or how to neglect and abandon themselves? Self-sarifice is NOT setting a good example."

"You are your own soul mate, so love and treat yourself in the same way you would your life partner."

"Those of us who have overcome so many adversities from a very young age, are privileged to be able to communicate profound insights and advice to others, speaking from a place of genuine confidence and knowing."

"There is a need for promoting women's sexual agency in today's society, because if it wasn't an issue, terms such as 'female sexual empowerment' would be made redundant. The fact that we merely have this vocabulary is indicative of that."

"Your past history is NOT an excuse."

"You are never alone as long as you are in the company of your precious self."

"All men are 'real men', whether they wear KingGees or a pink tutu."

"Centuries of social conditioning has created a generational fear among women of being perceived as masculine.This is where all the shaming and labels come into play, which perpetuate the oppression of girls and women. As a society we shame girls with deep voices or masculine features and we shame boys with soft voices or effeminate gestures. Girls get called 'too manly' and boys get called 'too girly'. The only solution I can think of is to be unashamedly 'you'. If that means challenging stereotypes and gender norms, go right ahead!"

"If telling men 'don't rape' instead of telling women 'don't get raped', is like telling thieves 'don't steal' instead of home owners to 'lock your houses', why don't we hear more victims of home invasion being told 'you got what you deserved for having such a beautiful house on display for everyone to see' ???"

"Girls and guys, don't let anyone tell you who and what you should be into."

"The way you choose to think and speak about yourself (to yourself and others), IS A CHOICE! You may have spent your whole life talking about yourself in a negative way, but that doesn't mean you have to continue that path."

"Make a promise to yourself right now, that you will choose your thoughts and words wisely, that you will no longer use disempowered language about yourself, and nor will you ever negatively define yourself by what has occurred in your past."

"Always remember to give yourself the kindness, compassion and consideration you give to others."

"You don't need to be primary caregiver of your children to be of primary influence in their lives. What you do for them behind the scenes in your own unique way is what makes the true difference in the long run."

"Both men and women experience pressure to conform to social standards of attractiveness. Men to look strong and be tough, women to look pretty and soft. Men to be masculine, women to be feminine. Men get judged for being 'too feminine', women get criticized for being 'too masculine'. Gender policing affects us all."

"You are NOT an abuse survivor or victim. Leave your labels elsewhere because they are no longer serving you."

"Don't use your past history as an excuse to be miserable. Use your past as a testament to show the world just how far you have come."

"Has anyone ever noticed that when ethnic Australians excel in sport they are heralded 'Aussies'; but when something goes wrong they are thrown the 'go back to where you came from' line? WAKE UP RACISTS."

"An abuser isn't abusive 24/7. They usually demonstrate positive character traits most of the time. That's what makes the abuse so confusing when it happens, and what makes leaving so much more difficult."

"Don't say 'I'm a worrier and this is just who I am'....or 'I've always been a worrier, I can't help it'; instead decide from this day forward to become someone who DOESN'T worry."

"If you ever want to know how a man truly feels about you, do absolutely nothing. Then you'll have your answer."

"You can always evaluate a man's character by the way he speaks about his ex girlfriends and other women. When entering a new relationship or getting close with a new guy, make sure you take notice of the language he uses when referring to other girls."

"Even if we have ourselves so fully convinced that we are on the right track because we desperately want to believe that the specific direction we have chosen is the 'correct one', if the universe disagrees with our choices, it will not be shy in telling us so."

"Does that new man in your life call his ex 'a slut', 'a whore', 'a bitch', 'psycho' , 'crazy', 'a nutter' etc etc. Chances are, whatever he's calling his ex right now, he'll be calling you when things don't go his way. Be warned."

"Take notice of what thoughts you choose to fill your mind with each day. Our thoughts draw to us whatever is dominating our mind, so always keep what you are thinking about in check."

"If you notice yourself viewing a potential partner as a 'work in progress', that's a sign to find someone else."

"You need to be your own cheer squad not your own worst enemy."

"Reframing your past painful experiences and seeing them in a humorous light takes away the power and emotional charge attached to the memory of the hurtful event."

"Our soul is like a soft and gentle flower, it needs to be nurtured, cared for, tended to, with sufficient sunlight, fresh air and freedom to bloom into its most precious and beautiful form. This, my friend, is self-love."

"Stop making someone else's looks your '#goals'. By all means aspire to be a better version of your current self, but don't glorify others when you yourself are glorious."

"Sacred blessings and divine opportunities appear in your life disguised as unforeseen changes and challenging circumstances."

"By all means be submissive in the bedroom (if you are that way inclined), but don't be submissive to life. Being life's bitch is no fun at all. Life may play up in many ways, but it's up to you to take control, take charge and put life in its place."

"So many amazing opportunities arise when a chapter of our life ends. When we resign from a job that we weren't happy in, or even get fired, it's actually a blessing because a better experience is waiting to happen. It's all about perspective."

"Prove yourself and others wrong everyday by redefining who you THINK you are, through performing actions you would normally deem impossible or uncharacteristic of you."

"Guys, you don't have to act 'manly' to be considered a man; you are a man, so just be yourself. Don't let society make you believe you have to prove your masculinity to anyone because you don't. You are you and you are worthy, full stop."

"The saying 'flattery gets you everywhere' appalls me. If you're going to pay someone a compliment make sure it's 100% genuine or not at all.-Flattery is deception and who wants to be lied to?"

"Gratitude is the antidote for misery. When you are counting your blessings you are too busy to be counting your problems."

"Women aren't my competition because male attention and sexual objectification are not prizes for me."

"When you notice yourself desperately trying to think of an excuse to avoid a new experience out of FEAR, ANXIETY or INSECURITY, make the decision to say: 'sure, I'll do it' , and see how your life improves."

"Time waits for no one so you shouldn't either. Do whatever it is that you can do RIGHT NOW that requires no external approval, acceptance or permission and is aligned with your life purpose. ....Haven't discovered your life purpose yet? No problem! Do what you love that is effortless, creative and helps others along the way. (That's one in the same thing after all. )"

"I do not subscribe to the abuse 'victim' or 'survivor' labelling mentality. I have experienced every kind of abuse imaginable and I am and always have been the most happy-go-lucky, positive and life affirming person around. Your labels do not serve you, so don't use them as an excuse to be miserable. You have a beautiful life to live, so accept the beauty and start living."

"What I am or am not wearing does not correlate with my competency as a professional, a mother, or a feminist role model. My clothes don't define me and neither does my nakedness. I define me."

"Male social conditioning encourages boys and men to aim to bed as many women as possible....so much so, that their self esteem and self worth become intertwined with the number of sexual partners they have; and when that number is low or even zero, so too is their self-confidence."
