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

When we numb [hard feelings], we numb joy, we numb gratitude, we numb happiness.

Vulnerability pushed, I pushed back. I lost the fight, but probably won my life back.

It’s no longer a question of can I do it. It’s a question of: Do I want to do it?

One of the things I talk a lot about in my work that I try to practice - which is really hard - is in those moments where we're being asked to do things or asked to take over or asked to take care of something, we have to have the courage to choose discomfort over resentment. And to me, a huge part of my authenticity practice has been choosing discomfort and saying no.

Until we can receive with an open heart, we are never really giving with an open heart.

We're a nation of exhausted and over-stressed adults raising over-scheduled children.
