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

Authenticity is a collection of choices that we have to make every day. It's about the choice to show up and be real. The choice to be honest. The choice to let our true selves be seen.

There is no such thing as creative and non-creative people, only people who use their creativity and people who don't.

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

We're a nation of exhausted and over-stressed adults raising over-scheduled children.

If we are going to find our way out of shame and back to each other, vulnerability is the path and courage is the light. To set down those lists of *what we're supposed to be* is brave. To love ourselves and support each other in the process of becoming real is perhaps the greatest single act of daring greatly.

The only universal language I know of that wraps up joy and gratitude and love is laughter.
