Vulnerability is not weakness, and the uncertainty, risk, and emotional exposure we face every day are not optional. Our only choice is a question of engagement. Our willingness to own and engage with our vulnerability determines the depth of our courage and the clarity of our purpose; the level to which we protect ourselves from being vulnerable is a measure of our fear and disconnection.

Courage is like—it’s a habitus, a habit, a virtue: You get it by courageous acts. It’s like you learn to swim by swimming. You learn courage by couraging.

Connection, the ability to feel connected, is neurobiologically wired, that’s why we’re here!

Even to me the issue of "stay small, sweet, quiet, and modest" sounds like an outdated problem, but the truth is that women still run into those demands whenever we find and use our voices.

The only unique contribution that we will ever make in this world will be born of our creativity.

You are imperfect, you are wired for struggle, but you are worthy of love and belonging.

The one thing that keeps us out of connection is our fear that we're not worthy of connection.
