Courage - To tell the story of who you are with your whole heart Picture Quote #1

I’m not a parenting expert. In fact, I’m not sure that I even believe in the idea of ‘parenting experts.’ I’m an engaged, imperfect parent and a passionate researcher.

The only universal language I know of that wraps up joy and gratitude and love is laughter Picture Quote #1

I believe in the healing power of laughter. I believe laughter forces us to breathe Picture Quote #1

There is nothing more vulnerable than creativity. . . It’s not about winning, it’s not about losing, it’s about showing up and being seen Picture Quote #1

Every time we choose courage, we make everyone around us a little better and the world a little braver. And our world could stand to be a little kinder and braver Picture Quote #1

Shame cannot survive being spoken. It cannot tolerate having words wrapped around it. What it craves is secrecy, silence, and judgment. If you stay quiet, you stay in a lot of self-judgment Picture Quote #1

Cool is the emotional straightjacket. It makes us less available for connection which makes us less equipped for leadership roles Picture Quote #1

Vulnerability is not weakness. And that myth is profoundly dangerous... I define vulnerability as emotional risk, exposure, uncertainty. It fuels our daily lives Picture Quote #1

The question isn’t so much, Are you parenting the right way? as it is: Are you the adult you want your child to grow up to be? Picture Quote #1

Perfectionism is self-destructive simply because there is no such thing as perfect. Perfection is an unattainable goal. Additionally, perfectionism is more about perception - we want to be perceived as perfect. Again, this is unattainable - there is no way to control perception, regardless of how much time and energy we spend trying Picture Quote #1

Squandering our gifts brings distress to our lives. As it turns out, it’s not merely benign or ‘too bad’ if we don’t use the gifts that we’ve been given; we pay for it with our emotional and physical well-being. When we don’t use our talents to cultivate meaningful work, we struggle. We feel disconnected and weighted down by feelings of emptiness, frustration, resentment, shame, disappointment, fear, and even grief Picture Quote #1

Shame is the most powerful, master emotion. It’s the fear that we’re not good enough Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1
