Daring to set boundaries is about having the courage to love ourselves, even when we risk disappointing others.

I now see how owning our story and loving ourselves through that process is the bravest thing that we will ever do.

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

But I don't think it's as dangerous, scary, or terrifying as getting to the end of our lives and wondering, what if I would have shown up?

If we can’t stand up to the never good enough and who do you think you are? we can’t move forward.

Sufficiency isn't two steps up from poverty or one step short of abundance. It isn't a measure of barely enough or more than enough. Sufficiency isn't an amount at all. It is an experience, a context we generate, a declaration, a knowing that there is enough, and that we are enough.

Fear is the opposite of love, in my opinion.
