I am a storyteller and a researcher, and I'm sorry the world has a hard time straddling the tension of those two things, but that's who I am.

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

The truth is, rarely can a response make something better - what makes something better is connection.

In a highly critical, scarcity-based world, everyone's afraid to fail.

I spent a lot of years trying to outrun or outsmart vulnerability by making things certain and definite, black and white, good and bad. My inability to lean into the discomfort of vulnerability limited the fullness of those important experiences that are wrought with uncertainty: love, belonging, trust, joy, and creativity, to name a few.

Faith minus vulnerability and mystery equals extremism. If you've got all the answers, then don't call what you do 'faith.'

I now see how owning our story and loving ourselves through that process is the bravest thing that we will ever do.
