Only when we are brave enough to explore the darkness will we discover the infinite power of our light.

The two most powerful words when we're in struggle: me too.

We are hardwired to connect with others, it's what gives purpose and meaning to our lives, and without it there is suffering.

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.

Dare to be the adults we want our children to be.

The truth is, rarely can a response make something better - what makes something better is connection.

Live-tweeting your bikini wax is not vulnerability. Nor is posting a blow-by-blow of your divorce . That's an attempt to hot-wire connection. But you can't cheat real connection. It's built up slowly. It's about trust and time.
