We cannot selectively numb emotions, when we numb the painful emotions, we also numb the positive emotions.

Vulnerability is not about winning, and it's not about losing. It's about having the courage to show up and be seen.

All the stuff that keeps you safe from feeling scary emotions? They also keep you from feeling the good emotions. You have to shake those off. You have to become vulnerable.

Joy comes to us in moments--ordina ry moments. We risk missing out on joy when we get too busy chasing down the extraordinary.

Because true belonging only happens when we present our authentic, imperfect selves to the world, our sense of belonging can never be greater than our level of self-acceptance.

Vulnerability is the cornerstone of confidence.

Who we are and how we engage with the world are much stronger predictors of how our children will do than what we know about parenting.
