I believe a joyful life is made up of joyful moments, gracefully strung together by trust, gratitude, inspiration, and faith.

I am a storyteller and a researcher, and I'm sorry the world has a hard time straddling the tension of those two things, but that's who I am.

Perfectionism is a twenty-ton shield that we lug around thinking it will protect us when, in fact, it's the thing that's really preventing us from taking flight.

Courage starts with showing up and letting ourselves be seen.

Spirituality is recognizing and celebrating that we are all inextricably connected to each other by a power greater than all of us, and that our connection to that power and to one another is grounded in love and compassion. Practicing spirituality brings a sense of perspective, meaning and purpose to our lives.

How can we embrace rest and play if we've tied our self-worth to what we produce?

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