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

Belonging starts with self-acceptance. Your level of belonging, in fact, can never be greater than your level of self-acceptance, because believing that you're enough is what gives you the courage to be authentic, vulnerable and imperfect. When we don't have that, we shape-shift and turn into chameleons; we hustle for the worthiness we already possess.

Courage - To tell the story of who you are with your whole heart.

We cannot grow when we are in shame, and we can't use shame to change ourselves or others.

We're all so busy chasing the extraordinary that we forget to stop and be grateful for the ordinary.

Living a connected life ultimately is about setting boundaries, spending less time and energy hustling and winning over people who don't matter, and seeing the value of working on cultivating connection with family and close friends.

The willingness to show up changes us, It makes us a little braver each time.
