Vulnerability is about showing up and being seen. It's tough to do that when we're terrified about what people might see or think.

If you put shame in a petri dish, it needs three ingredients to grow exponentially: secrecy, silence, and judgment. If you put the same amount of shame in the petri dish and douse it with empathy, it can't survive.

The credit belongs to those of us who are actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood.

Image
One of the most painfully inauthentic ways we show up in our lives sometimes is saying yes when we mean no, and saying no when we mean hell yes.

We cannot give our children what we don't have. Where we are on our journey of living and loving with our whole hearts is a much stronger indicator of parenting success than anything we can learn from how-to books.

The universe is not short on wake-up calls. We’re just quick to hit the snooze button.

If you can't say it to me in front of my kids, don't say it.

Image
I define connection as the energy that exists between people when they feel seen, heard, and valued when they can give and receive without judgment and when they derive sustenance and strength from the relationship.

Many people think of perfectionism as striving to be your best, but it is not about self-improvement it's about earning approval and acceptance.

Image
I've found what makes children happy doesn't always prepare them to be courageous, engaged adults.
Brené Brown
Image
But I don't think it's as dangerous, scary, or terrifying as getting to the end of our lives and wondering, what if I would have shown up?
