Vulnerability is not weakness. And that myth is profoundly dangerous.

We cannot give our children what we don’t have.

I became Vulnerability TED, like an action figure - like Ninja Barbie, but I'm Vulnerability TED.

The laughter that happens when people are truth-telling and showing up and being real - I call that "knowing laughter." That's what happens between people when we recognize the absurdity of the belief that we're alone in anything.

We are so busy that the truth about our lives can't catch up.

It's not about 'what can I accomplish?' but 'what do I want to accomplish?' Paradigm shift.

The difficult thing is that vulnerability is the first thing I look for in you and the last thing I'm willing to show you. In you, it's courage and daring. In me, it's weakness.
