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.

When the people we love stop paying attention, trust begins to slip away and hurt starts seeping in.

Share with people who have earned the right to hear your story.

What makes you vulnerable makes you beautiful.

We are a culture of people who've bought into the idea that if we stay busy enough, the truth of our lives won't catch up with us.

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

When we fail to set boundaries and hold people accountable, we feel used and mistreated. This is why we sometimes attack who they are, which is far more hurtful than addressing a behavior or a choice.
