“Surviving this crisis will take a shift in mindset, and that’s tougher than we think – especially when we’re afraid. ⁣”

Just because someone isn’t willing or able to love us, it doesn’t mean that we are unlovable.

Vulnerability is not a victory march, it’s a cold and it’s a broken hallelujah.⁣

We can’t give up on vulnerability. It’s the path back to ourselves and each other.

We must learn how to lean into our vulnerability, stay curious, and practice courage.⁣

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

Have you ever struggled with feeling lonely – even when you’re surrounded by people you love? I have. It’s painful and confusing.⁣

Generosity. Bring all you have. It’s ok to be brave and afraid at the same time.

Gratitude. Remember they’re giving you their most precious resource: TIME!

Vulnerability is not knowing victory or defeat, it’s understanding the necessity of both; it’s engaging. It’s being all in.

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.

To love ourselves and support each other in the process of becoming real is perhaps the greatest single act of daring greatly.

Social distancing doesn’t have to mean social disconnection.

We cannot selectively numb emotions, when we numb the painful emotions, we also numb the positive emotions.

No matter how much we plan and prepare, life calls and we have to answer.

Vulnerability is the birthplace of innovation, creativity and change.

Shame is a tool of oppression and dehumanization. I don’t believe shame will ever be an effective social just tool. ⁣
