I define connection as the energy that exists between people when they feel seen, heard, and valued; when they can give and receive without judgment; and when they derive sustenance and strength from the relationship.

Think about what’s pleasurable, not just what’s possible.

Authenticity is the daily practice of letting go of who we think we're supposed to be and embracing who we are.

Our sense of belonging can never be greater than our level of self acceptance.

One of the reasons we judge each other so harshly in this world of parenting is because... we perceive anyone else who's doing anything differently than what we're doing as criticizing our choices.

I don't just want someone who says they love me; I want someone who practices that love for me every day.

Even to me the issue of "stay small, sweet, quiet, and modest" sounds like an outdated problem, but the truth is that women still run into those demands whenever we find and use our voices.
