Daring greatly means the courage to be vulnerable. It means to show up and be seen. To ask for what you need. To talk about how you're feeling. To have the hard conversations.

Vulnerability is about showing up and being seen. It's tough to do that when we're terrified about what people might see or think.

When perfectionism is driving us, shame is riding shotgun and fear is that annoying backseat driver!

One of the reasons we judge each other so harshly in this world of parenting is because... we perceive anyone else who's doing anything differently than what we're doing as criticizing our choices.

Owning our story can be hard but not nearly as difficult as spending our lives running from it. Embracing our vulnerabilities is risky but not nearly as dangerous as giving up on love and belonging and joy—the experiences that make us the most vulnerable. Only when we are brave enough to explore the darkness will we discover the infinite power of our light.

If you own this story you get to write the ending.

Vulnerability is the cornerstone of confidence.
