Daring greatly means the courage to be vulnerable. It means to show up and be seen. To ask for what you need. To talk about how you're feeling. To have the hard conversations.

What makes you vulnerable makes you beautiful.

Believing that you're enough is what gives you the courage to be authentic.

Owning our story can be hard but not nearly as difficult as spending our lives running from it.

When we set an intention to explore our emotional hot spots, we create a pathway to real love.
