"At night, when I'm asking myself if I'm proud of who I present myself to be, sometimes I start to dive into whether I have been going too much and not nurturing myself or nourishing myself. Am I not giving myself enough energy and effort to be able to keep doing the things that I want to do and serve in the way that I want to serve? Because I have found that when the answer at night is I'm not proud of who I presented myself to be, it's often because I have not taken enough time to stop, reflect, recharge, and do true restoration work. I've just been pouring myself out too much."– Dr Mandolen Mull.
