How can we embrace rest and play if we've tied our self-worth to what we produce?

I can't be paralyzed anymore by the critics. My new mantra is, if you're not in the arena getting your ass kicked on occasion, then I'm not interested in your feedback. You don't get to sit in the cheat seat and criticize my appearance or my work with mean-spiritedness if you're also not in the arena.

There’s nothing more daring than showing up, putting ourselves out there and letting ourselves be seen.

I'm never more courageous than when I'm embracing imperfection, embracing vulnerabilities, and setting boundaries with the people in my life.

Talk about your failures without apologizing.

I think a lot of us are multiple things that don't always fit together neatly in a bio box.

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.
