“There was always this contrast of who I wanted to be in the world versus who everyone else thought I should be.”
“We can’t get our children’s respect unless we respect our children and deeper than that, we need to learn to respect ourselves.”
“Mindful meditation to me means awareness. Simple awareness.”
“Really, it’s about doing less.”

– Sustainable ambition theory – Survival Mode, Momentum, Thrival Mode

– Meditation as a tool in parenting and life
– Why it’s easier to teach a child to meditate than an adult

– Giving yourself permission to let go of how things look
– The responsibility of personal growth and the intergenerational impacts
What does Joyful Courage mean to you?
Being yourself, simply put. Being yourself and having the courage to figure out who that is and what that feels like and just keep going after the things that light you up, because that’s joy and it’s going to be uncomfortable to do that.
