We spend a lot of our emotional energy trying to avoid pain and suffering.
But to experience the joy we want to feel, we have to understand that pain is an inevitable part of the human experience.
The key to surviving that pain is simple…
Find ways to give yourself more grace.

Favorite Quotes:
When I look at the causes of most of the suffering or challenges we have in our lives, it's truly because we lack grace for ourselves.
We do everything possible to avoid feeling pain as if it is the worst thing to happen to us. And we don't understand that pain produces endurance.
We should feel every single human emotion and just allow it to pass through us understand what it's saying, be able to own that and then let it go. And when we do that we give ourselves grace and we give others grace.
The only way to know what's truth versus what's not is to speak it. To ask the questions, to be willing to share with others, and to allow them to meet us where we are. And when we do that, we begin to bring the darkness to light. We begin to see the beauty of all of our parts and of everyone else. And we begin to realize that we are far more resilient, far more safe, far more capable, far more loved than we even knew.
