Love is a connection that can only be cultivated between two people when it exists within each one of them - we can only love others as much as we love ourselves.

If we want to live and love with our whole hearts, and if we want to engage with the world from a place of worthiness, we have to talk about the things that get in the way- especially shame, fear and vulnerability

I believe joy is a spiritual practice we have to work at.

Owning our story can be hard but not nearly as difficult as spending our lives running from it.

Even to me the issue of "stay small, sweet, quiet, and modest" sounds like an outdated problem, but the truth is that women still run into those demands whenever we find and use our voices.

Connection is why we're here; it is what gives purpose and meaning to our lives. The power that connection holds in our lives was confirmed when the main concern about connection emerged as the fear of disconnection; the fear that something we have done or failed to do, something about who we are or where we come from, has made us unlovable and unworthy of connection.

Courage - To tell the story of who you are with your whole heart.
