Our brains are wired for connection, but trauma rewires them for protection. That’s why healthy relationships are difficult for wounded people.

There is nothing more beautiful than seeing a person being themselves. Imagine going through your day being unapologetically you.

Life should be touched, not strangled. You’ve got to relax, let it happen at times, and at others move forward with it.

Lighten up on yourself. No one is perfect. Gently accept your humanness.
