Let ourselves be seen, deeply seen, vulnerably seen, to love with our whole hearts, even though there's no guarantee... to practice gratitude and joy in those moments of terror, to be this vulnerable means that we’re alive.

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.

Image
Through my research, I found that vulnerability is the glue that holds relationships together. It's the magic sauce.

Vulnerability is not weakness. And that myth is profoundly dangerous.

'Crazy-busy' is a great armor, it's a great way for numbing. What a lot of us do is that we stay so busy, and so out in front of our life, that the truth of how we're feeling and what we really need can't catch up with us.

It's a practice for me every day, sometimes every hour of every day. It is an absolute practice. When I went into the research, I really thought that there are authentic people and inauthentic people, period. What I found is, there people who practice authenticity and people who don't. The people who practice authenticity work their ass off at it.

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.

Image
If you want to make a difference, the next time you see someone being cruel to another human being, take it personally. Take it personally because it is personal!

Why, when we know that there's no such thing as perfect, do most of us spend an incredible amount of time and energy trying to be everything to everyone? Is it that we really admire perfection? No - the truth is that we are actually drawn to people who are real and down-to-earth. We love authenticity and we know that life is messy and imperfect.

Courage starts with showing up and letting ourselves be seen.

Image
We cannot grow when we are in shame, and we can't use shame to change ourselves or others.

The two most powerful words when we're in struggle: me too.

Don't do anything that you're already not great at doing.

Perfect and bulletproof are seductive, but they don’t exist in the human experience.

What makes you vulnerable makes you beautiful.

You can’t dress rehearse the bad moments.
