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

If you own this story you get to write the ending.

If there's a feeling you have, other people have it. If there's something weird about your life, other people have lived it. If there's something kooky about your body, other people have that, too. We're not alone. There's some kind of tremendous relief in that and I think it can only be expressed in belly laughter. This tremendous relief that happens the millisecond we realize, it's not just me. That's what good laughter is about. It's about knowing that you're not alone.

It's not about 'what can I accomplish?' but 'what do I want to accomplish?' Paradigm shift.

Vulnerability is about showing up and being seen. It's tough to do that when we're terrified about what people might see or think.

Knowledge is important, but only if we're being kind and gentle with ourselves as we work to discover who we are.

Courage starts with showing up and letting ourselves be seen.
