Some of my favourite quotes from Jade during this interview:

"My mental health was me trying to dance to other people's beats of their drum. Like, oh, they're playing that tune. I'm gonna dance to that tune. And it's like, no, that is, I don't, I'm, I'm an offbeat person. Like I don't dance to the same rhythm. "

"This is actually, this is the Jade way. Oh, God. I'm talking about myself in the third person? But like my way of doing things is I think like people are like 1, 2, 3, 4 in steps that they take and I'm like 1, 6, 20, 5 30, like, and it's like those - like it's, it's like if a door closes a window opens or, you know, a skylight I can climb through it's, I've got those approaches. So like I'm not a straight line person. I'm like curves and wiggles and squiggles. And that's if I, and I think, cause we're like in chaos, there's like synchronicity and like reason and Hmm. Like, colours of different hues and stuff. And I think I love that about myself and that is something that makes me different and everyone has that, those differences, but I'm recognizing mine and like really embracing that. So yeah."

"I think just honouring like what energy brings to me, what like that flow is inside of me, how I swerve in and out of things and making sure that those paths are really clear within me. So that's why like I wanted to do Reiki because I wanted to unblock all those things. And I always have this metaphor and I think I said earlier we were talking, but like how we carry bags of other people that they put on you. And I, you know, I just want to like kind of clear out and be like, are these my bags I'm carrying? Or are they, someone else's bags? And what's in the bags and I'm going to give them bags back because I'm so chaotic inside that I need to know, I need to start kind of doing an inventory of being like “are these my bags or are these your bags? Am I going to give them back to you? You okay, these are yours.” Do you know what I mean? I need to do that. So then I can think clearly and really tune into myself because it is a frequency and I don't need all this extra noise kind of thing."

"Just actually just having the language has actually helped me. Cause I'm like, okay, I'm not a bad person. Oh no, I'm not a lazy person. This is the problem. Or no, not even, this is a problem. This is, this is the issue that's come up. So how can I rectify that issue? Cause before it was just like, oh, I'm lazy. I need to do things that are for lazy people to like be productive and it's no, you're not lazy. You've got X, Y, and Zed going on. So if you start looking at what these problems are, issues, whatever, then you can start to, you know, make solutions for whatever challenges I was coming across."
