Hope is really a thought.
Talk about your failures without apologizing.
Vulnerability is not weakness. And that myth is profoundly dangerous... I define vulnerability as emotional risk, exposure, uncertainty. It fuels our daily lives.
Shame is the most powerful, master emotion. It's the fear that we're not good enough.
What makes something better is connection.
If we can share our story with someone who responds with empathy and understanding, shame can't survive.
