Know your audience. If I don't share in a way that will be understood, I lose my ability to connect.

We are all here to look after each other. I would not be where I am, as the woman I am, without the love and mentorship I have in my corner.

I feel that one of the greatest gifts you can give someone is the truth, but sometimes my words will get stuck on the way out.

Know your audience. If I don't share in a way that will be understood, I lose my ability to connect.

I choose to not ignore or push away emotional pain. Instead, I allow it to move through me. Sometimes, that's quietly working on a puzzle and listening to an all-strings Pandora station, and others, it's being vulnerable with a trusted friend. Either way, I let it have its place.

I prioritize people. This grounds me and reminds me of my place in the world.

Please be kinder to yourself!
