We teach what we have to learn. It's been an extraordinary journey that I couldn't have done with not only the research participants but the community, the tribe that we've built of people who are also on this journey.

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

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

I became Vulnerability TED, like an action figure - like Ninja Barbie, but I'm Vulnerability TED.

Vulnerability sounds like truth and feels like courage.

We are hardwired to connect with others, it's what gives purpose and meaning to our lives, and without it there is suffering.

When you get to a place where you understand that love and belonging, your worthiness, is a birthright and not something you have to earn, anything is possible.
