Trust is a product of vulnerability that grows over time and requires work, attention, and full engagement.

That's really part of being a grounded theory researcher - putting names to concepts and experiences that people have.

Vulnerability is the birthplace of innovation, creativity and change.

One of the things I talk a lot about in my work that I try to practice - which is really hard - is in those moments where we're being asked to do things or asked to take over or asked to take care of something, we have to have the courage to choose discomfort over resentment. And to me, a huge part of my authenticity practice has been choosing discomfort and saying no.

I became Vulnerability TED, like an action figure - like Ninja Barbie, but I'm Vulnerability TED.

The one thing that keeps us out of connection is our fear that we're not worthy of connection.

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