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

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

Creativity, which is the expression of our originality, helps us stay mindful that what we bring to the world is completely original and cannot be compared.

If you can't say it to me in front of my kids, don't say it.

If we can share our story with someone who responds with empathy and understanding, shame can't survive.

Self-compassion is key because when we're able to be gentle with ourselves in the midst of shame, we're more likely to reach out, connect, and experience empathy.

Dare to be the adults we want our children to be.
