Knowledge is only rumor until it lives in the bones.

Compassion is not a virtue -- it is a commitment. It's not something we have or don't have -- it's something we choose to practice.

If we want to fully experience love and belonging, we must believe that we are worthy of love and belonging.

It's in our biology to trust what we see with our eyes. This makes living in a carefully edited, overproduced and photoshopped world very dangerous.

Vulnerability is not weakness. And that myth is profoundly dangerous... I define vulnerability as emotional risk, exposure, uncertainty. It fuels our daily lives.

To love someone fiercely, to believe in something with your whole heart, to celebrate a fleeting moment in time, to fully engage in a life that doesn’t come with guarantees – these are risks that involve vulnerability and often pain. But, I’m learning that recognizing and leaning into the discomfort of vulnerability teaches us how to live with joy, gratitude and grace.

Knowledge is important, but only if we're being kind and gentle with ourselves as we work to discover who we are.
