Belonging starts with self-acceptance. Your level of belonging, in fact, can never be greater than your level of self-acceptance, because believing that you're enough is what gives you the courage to be authentic, vulnerable and imperfect. When we don't have that, we shape-shift and turn into chameleons; we hustle for the worthiness we already possess.

I think that shame is a universal, paralyzing, painful emotion.

Our sense of belonging can never be greater than our level of self acceptance.

For me, the opposite of scarcity is not abundance. It's enough. I'm enough. My kids are enough.

Daring greatly means the courage to be vulnerable. It means to show up and be seen. To ask for what you need. To talk about how you're feeling. To have the hard conversations.

Don't do anything that you're already not great at doing.

Guilt: I'm sorry. I made a mistake. Shame: I'm sorry. I am a mistake.
