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

Vulnerability pushed, I pushed back. I lost the fight, but probably won my life back.

Want to be happy? Stop trying to be perfect.

If we can’t stand up to the never good enough and who do you think you are? we can’t move forward.

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.

Ads sell a great deal more than products. They sell values, images, and concepts of success and worth.

I've come to this belief that, if you show me a woman who can sit with a man in real vulnerability, in deep fear, and be with him in it, I will show you a woman who, A, has done her work and, B, does not derive her power from that man. And if you show me a man who can sit with a woman in deep struggle and vulnerability and not try to fix it, but just hear her and be with her and hold space for it, I'll show you a guy who's done his work and a man who doesn't derive his power from controlling and fixing everything.
