QUOTABLES: “Where's the humanity in perfectionism?” - Daria Burke “It's okay to master things. And it's more important in a lot of ways to have a beginner's mind. And I think, you know, so much of our willingness to begin does start with fear.” - Daria Burke “I don't believe in impostor syndrome. I just flat-out don't believe in it. I believe that you have mastered something or you're starting something.” - Daria Burke GUEST RESOURCES:  Daria Burke dariaburke.com IG | instagram.com/dariaburke Like what you’re hearing?
