Connection, the ability to feel connected, is neurobiologically wired, that’s why we’re here!

Ads sell a great deal more than products. They sell values, images, and concepts of success and worth.

Raising children who are hopeful and who have the courage to be vulnerable means stepping back and letting them experience disappointment, deal with conflict, learn how to assert themselves, and have the opportunity to fail. If we’re always following our children into the arena, hushing the critics, and assuring their victory, they’ll never learn that they have the ability to dare greatly on their own.

Vulnerability is not weakness.

Authenticity is a collection of choices that we have to make every day. It's about the choice to show up and be real. The choice to be honest. The choice to let our true selves be seen.

I think laughter between people is a holy form of connection, of communion. It's the way you and I look at each other and without words, say, I get exactly what you're saying. And so, it's important to me.

If you want to make a difference, the next time you see someone being cruel to another human being, take it personally. Take it personally because it is personal!
