Hope is really a thought.

When perfectionism is driving us, shame is riding shotgun and fear is that annoying backseat driver!

You either walk inside your story and own it or you stand outside your story and hustle for your worthiness.

'Crazy-busy' is a great armor, it's a great way for numbing. What a lot of us do is that we stay so busy, and so out in front of our life, that the truth of how we're feeling and what we really need can't catch up with us.

Then I tell my own story. The two things that people really need to transform is language to understand their experience and to know they're not alone. It's the combination of the researcher-storyteller part.

I believe in the healing power of laughter. I believe laughter forces us to breathe.

Authenticity is also about the courage and the vulnerability to say, "Yeah, I'll try it. I feel pretty uncomfortable and I feel a little vulnerable, but I'll try it!"
