Mindfully practicing authenticity during our most soul-searching struggles is how we invite grace, joy and gratitude into our lives.

I think a lot of us are looking for the same thing. I feel very lucky to have a definitive moment where I know everything shifted in me, and it was the moment I read that quote. Because I thought, A. That's everything I know about vulnerability. It's not winning, it's not losing, it's showing up and being seen. B. That's who I want to be.

It's a practice for me every day, sometimes every hour of every day. It is an absolute practice. When I went into the research, I really thought that there are authentic people and inauthentic people, period. What I found is, there people who practice authenticity and people who don't. The people who practice authenticity work their ass off at it.

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

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

It's in our biology to trust what we see with our eyes. This makes living in a carefully edited, overproduced and photoshopped world very dangerous.

We have to be women we want our daughters to be.
