When you don't put your initials behind your name, and I've got tons of them, and when you talk about storytelling or love or gratitude, you're diminishing your legitimacy and importance in this world.

Maybe stories are just data with a soul.

We cannot give our children what we don’t have.

Effort + the courage to show up = enough.

Caring about the welfare of children and shaming parents are mutually exclusive endeavors.

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

Daring greatly means the courage to be vulnerable. It means to show up and be seen. To ask for what you need. To talk about how you're feeling. To have the hard conversations.
