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

Vulnerability sounds like truth and feels like courage. Truth and courage aren't always comfortable, but they're never weakness.

Shame derives its power from being unspeakable.

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

Courage starts with showing up and letting ourselves be seen.

Even to me the issue of "stay small, sweet, quiet, and modest" sounds like an outdated problem, but the truth is that women still run into those demands whenever we find and use our voices.

What we know matters but who we are matters more.

Who we are and how we engage with the world are much stronger predictors of how our children will do than what we know about parenting.

When we rejoice in beautiful scenery, great art, and great music, it is but the flexing of instincts acquired in another place and another time.

Every word, every look, every action, and every smile can bring happiness to others.

I've always wanted to be an actor. I didn't get into this game to be the best improviser in the world. I didn't choose improv as a stepping stone, it just happened to become one.
