Courage is telling our story, not being immune to criticism.

Many people think of perfectionism as striving to be your best, but it is not about self-improvement; it's about earning approval and acceptance.

Vulnerability sounds like truth and feels like courage. Truth and courage aren't always comfortable, but they're never weakness.

When you numb your pain you also numb your joy.

We can only belong when we offer our most authentic selves and when we're embraced for who we are.

I think that shame is a universal, paralyzing, painful emotion.

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.
