A deep sense of love and belonging is an irreducible need of all people. We are biologically, cognitively, physically, and spiritually wired to love, to be loved, and to belong. When those needs are not met, we don't function as we were meant to. We break. We fall apart. We numb. We ache. We hurt others. We get sick.

There’s nothing more daring than showing up, putting ourselves out there and letting ourselves be seen.

Shame is the most powerful, master emotion. It's the fear that we're not good enough.

If you're not in the arena also getting your ass kicked, I'm not interested in your feedback.

Owning our story can be hard but not nearly as difficult as spending our lives running from it.

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

We don't have to be perfect, just engaged and committed to aligning values with actions.
