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

We're all so busy chasing the extraordinary that we forget to stop and be grateful for the ordinary.

I am a storyteller and a researcher, and I'm sorry the world has a hard time straddling the tension of those two things, but that's who I am.

We have to be women we want our daughters to be.

Our sense of belonging can never be greater than our level of self acceptance.

Mindfully practicing authenticity during our most soul-searching struggles is how we invite grace, joy and gratitude into our lives.

Raising children who are hopeful and who have the courage to be vulnerable means stepping back and letting them experience disappointment, deal with conflict, learn how to assert themselves, and have the opportunity to fail. If we’re always following our children into the arena, hushing the critics, and assuring their victory, they’ll never learn that they have the ability to dare greatly on their own.
