When failure is not an option, we can forget about creativity, learning, and innovation.

Let go of who you think you should be in order to be who you are. Be imperfect and have compassion for yourself. Connection is the result of authenticity.

If we want greater clarity in our purpose or deeper and more meaningful spiritual lives, vulnerability is the path.

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.

I now see how owning our story and loving ourselves through that process is the bravest thing that we will ever do.

How can we embrace rest and play if we've tied our self-worth to what we produce?

Most people believe vulnerability is weakness. But really vulnerability is Courage. We must ask ourselves...are we willing to show up and be seen.
