“Always straddling the tension and trying not to tap out.⁣”

Vulnerability is the heart of sport. I love working with coaches and athletes.

Vulnerability is our most accurate measurement of courage.

We need to listen to Black women.

Courage is contagious.

Only when we are brave enough to explore the darkness will we discover the infinite power of our light.

Love is a powerful form of vulnerability and if you replace the word love with vulnerability in that line, it’s just as true.⁣

The willingness to show up changes us, It makes us a little braver each time.

If we can share our story with someone who responds with empathy and understanding, shame can’t survive.

I now see how owning our story and loving ourselves through that process is the bravest thing that we will ever do.

Until we can receive with an open heart, we are never really giving with an open heart.

We’re a nation hungry for more joy: Because we’re starving from a lack of gratitude.

Talk about your failures without apologizing.

We don’t need to do awkward, brave, and kind alone. We were never meant to.

Shame corrodes the very part of us that believes we are capable of change.

During a time of deep uncertainty and anxiety – when many of us have struggled to be our best selves all of the time – apologizing has never been more important.⁣

When we screw up or fall down, many of us talk to ourselves in ways that we would never talk to someone we love and respect.

What is right to be done cannot be done too soon.

You must not let anyone define your limits because of where you come from. Your only limit is your soul.

I believe one of the hardest things you can do is conquer your fears, but if you have a goal, then it’s your job to open up and let it be real no matter how scary it seems.

Ideas are the beginning of all achievement.

I don’t think of my life as a career. I do stuff. I respond to stuff. That’s not a career – it’s a life!

The rain will stop, the night will end, the hurt will fade. Hope is never so lost that it can’t be found.

Be grateful everyday for the brief but magnificent opportunity that life provides.

Patience is bitter, but its fruit is sweet.
