Tell your story with your whole heart.

Vulnerability is the core, the heart, the center, of meaningful human experience.

When you numb your pain you also numb your joy.

Only when we are brave enough to explore the darkness will we discover the infinite power of our light.

When you don't put your initials behind your name, and I've got tons of them, and when you talk about storytelling or love or gratitude, you're diminishing your legitimacy and importance in this world.

All the stuff that keeps you safe from feeling scary emotions? They also keep you from feeling the good emotions. You have to shake those off. You have to become vulnerable.

We're raising children who have little tolerance for disappointment
