Embracing our vulnerabilities is risky but not nearly as dangerous as giving up on love and belonging and joy.

Perfectionism is self destructive simply because there's no such thing as perfect. Perfection is an unattainable goal.

The only universal language I know of that wraps up joy and gratitude and love is laughter.

Through my research, I found that vulnerability is the glue that holds relationships together. It's the magic sauce.

I wasn't really testing it on myself as much as I was learning from other people about what it meant to live and love with your whole heart, and then thinking, oh my god, I'm not doing that.

We cannot give our children what we don’t have.

When we deny our stories, They define us. When we own our stories, we get to write the ending.
