We live in a world where most people still subscribe to the belief that shame is a good tool for keeping people in line. Not only is this wrong, but it’s dangerous. Shame is highly correlated with addiction, violence, aggression, depression, eating disorders, and bullying.

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

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

Who we are and how we engage with the world are much stronger predictors of how our children will do than what we know about parenting.

The truth is, I'm a storyteller. And it scares me, because my training as an academic is that the more accessible you are and the more human you are, the less smart you are. It's a shame trigger for me to be honest.

I don't have to chase extraordinary moments to find happiness - it's right in front of me if I'm paying attention and practicing gratitude.
