Vulnerability is the cornerstone of confidence.

It's hard to practice compassion when we're struggling with our authenticity or when our own worthiness is off-balance.

Guilt: I'm sorry. I made a mistake. Shame: I'm sorry. I am a mistake.

Creativity, which is the expression of our originality, helps us stay mindful that what we bring to the world is completely original and cannot be compared.

We need to change what we say and what we allow to be said in front of us.

Vulnerability is based on mutuality and requires boundaries and trust. It's not oversharing, it's not purging, it's not indiscriminate disclosure, and it's not celebrity-style social media information dumps. Vulnerability is about sharing our feelings and our experiences with people who have earned the right to hear them.

I think a lot of us are multiple things that don't always fit together neatly in a bio box.
