Knowledge is only rumor until it lives in the bones.

The laughter that happens when people are truth-telling and showing up and being real - I call that "knowing laughter." That's what happens between people when we recognize the absurdity of the belief that we're alone in anything.

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.

Cool is the emotional straightjacket. It makes us less available for connection which makes us less equipped for leadership roles.

It's hard to practice compassion when we're struggling with our authenticity or when our own worthiness is off-balance.

We need to change what we say and what we allow to be said in front of us.

Vulnerability is the cornerstone of confidence.
