The willingness to show up changes us, It makes us a little braver each time.

You can't get to courage without walking through vulnerability.

Shame cannot survive being spoken. It cannot tolerate having words wrapped around it. What it craves is secrecy, silence, and judgment. If you stay quiet, you stay in a lot of self-judgment.

You are imperfect, you are wired for struggle, but you are worthy of love and belonging.

The opposite of play is not work—the opposite of play is depression.

Daring to set boundaries is about having the courage to love ourselves, even when we risk disappointing others.

I'm just so grateful, because to feel this vulnerable means I'm alive.
