One of the things I talk a lot about in my work that I try to practice - which is really hard - is in those moments where we're being asked to do things or asked to take over or asked to take care of something, we have to have the courage to choose discomfort over resentment. And to me, a huge part of my authenticity practice has been choosing discomfort and saying no.

Loving and accepting ourselves are the ultimate acts of courage.

Feeling vulnerable, imperfect, and afraid is human. It's when we lose our capacity to hold space for these struggles that we become dangerous.

We're a nation of exhausted and over-stressed adults raising over-scheduled children.

Trust is a product of vulnerability that grows over time and requires work, attention, and full engagement.

When we numb [hard feelings], we numb joy, we numb gratitude, we numb happiness.

Spirituality is recognizing and celebrating that we are all inextricably connected to each other by a power greater than all of us, and that our connection to that power and to one another is grounded in love and compassion. Practicing spirituality brings a sense of perspective, meaning and purpose to our lives.
