I can encourage my daughter to love her body, but what really matters are the observations she makes about my relationship with my own body.

I came to love, I came into my own.

Daring to set boundaries is about having the courage to love ourselves, even when we risk disappointing others.

I was raised in a family where vulnerability was barely tolerated: no training wheels on our bicycles, no goggles in the pool, just get it done. And so I grew up not only with discomfort about my own vulnerability, I didn't care for it in other people either.

I'm very gregarious, but I love being in the hills on my own.

I have my own vocabulary. I love linguistics. That surprises people.
