Vulnerability is not winning or losing; it’s having the courage to show up and be seen.
The only way to truly belong is to show up, be seen, and be your authentic self.
Embrace your imperfections and let go of the need to be perfect.
Daring greatly means taking risks, even if you might fail.
True connection comes from vulnerability, not perfection.
Authenticity is the key to living a wholehearted life.
You cannot selectively numb emotions; when you numb the painful ones, you also numb the positive ones.
Shame cannot survive empathy.
Courage starts with showing up and letting ourselves be seen.
Owning our story can be hard, but not nearly as difficult as spending our lives running from it.
Choose discomfort over resentment.
Perfectionism is not the same thing as striving to be your best.
True belonging doesn’t require you to change who you are; it requires you to be who you are.
The greatest barrier to belonging is fitting in.
You can’t hate yourself into a change; you can only love yourself into it.
A strong sense of love and belonging is an irreducible need of all people.
When we deny our stories, they define us. When we own our stories, we get to write the ending.
Belonging starts with self-acceptance.
Shame is the birthplace of perfectionism.
We don’t have to do all of it alone; we were never meant to.
Authenticity is a collection of choices that we have to make every day.
In a world full of critics, be your biggest fan.
The willingness to show up changes us; it makes us a little braver each time.
We can choose courage or we can choose comfort, but we cannot have both.
Connection is the energy that exists between people when they feel seen, heard, and valued.
Vulnerability is the birthplace of innovation, creativity, and change.
You are enough, just as you are, right now.
Compassion is not a virtue; it is a commitment to taking action.
Shame thrives in secrecy, silence, and judgment.
You can choose courage or you can choose comfort, but you cannot choose both.
Owning our worthiness is the bravest thing we will ever do.
You can’t numb the hard feelings without numbing the good ones.
Courage is contagious; our vulnerability gives permission to others to do the same.
Authenticity is the daily practice of letting go of who we think we’re supposed to be and embracing who we are.
Vulnerability is not weakness; it’s the birthplace of strength and courage.
Perfectionism is a self-destructive and addictive belief system that fuels this primary thought: If I look perfect, and do everything perfectly, I can avoid or minimize the painful feelings of shame, judgment, and blame.
Numb the dark and you numb the light.
Belonging so fully to yourself that you’re willing to stand alone is a wilderness — an untamed, unpredictable place of solitude and searching.
The most powerful lesson in creativity: Never compare.
Authenticity is about the choice to show up and be real. The choice to be honest. The choice to let our true selves be seen.
Shame corrodes the very part of us that believes we are capable of change.
It’s not the critic who counts; it’s the man in the arena.
Vulnerability sounds like truth and feels like courage.
You can only love others as much as you love yourself.
Our job is not to deny the story, but to defy the ending.
