“If you’re the outlier, just be the outlier. Declare it. Yeah, be the outsider if that’s what you are.” (08:58)

“The energy of anger is fire. Too much of that will burn out your system. It will burn your relationships, but just enough – for the right reason, in the right direction – looks like justice. It looks like policy change. It looks like clear decision making.” (17:53)

“And forgiveness, my experience of the feeling is it’s a profound relief. It’s a homecoming.” (24:16)

“My definition of leadership is the courage to hold the vision up and invite people to that vision. And, that courage comes from introspection and being able to be still and stillness takes courage.” (36:55)

“If you don’t want to live a life of service, if you don’t think there’s some higher order to this, I might not have that much to offer you. I’m not interested in convincing you of anything. I’m really actually interested in teaching teachers and singing to and with the choir.” (40:45)

“I want you to be joyful. I want you to be whole. And, I think the result of love is joy.” (42:26)

“I think most of us just need to be witnessed.” (1:08:19)

“One of my core things that I believe is no one will believe in you until you believe in you.” (07:03)

“Building soulset at five am while the rest of the world is asleep is about letting go of the noisy voice of ego, which is the voice of your insecurity and wounded self, and rebuilding the relationship with who you truly are – this light, this luminosity, this strength, this undefeatability, this wisdom.” (15:22)

TWEETABLE QUOTES

“The conscious parenting understands that the traditional way they’ve been parenting until now is full of holes and mythologies that need to be debunked.” (05:45)

“In many ways our children are more evolved because they allow themselves to be unhampered by culture. They’re very open about their feelings. They’re not yet jaded and critical like we can be.” (11:03)

“I think keep it to day-to-day expectations and the rest will kind of take care of itself. If they’re [your children] meant to be a scientist, they’re going to be a scientist. If they’re meant to be an artist, they’re going to be an artist. Don’t dictate their future.” (15:52)

“Success has become the goal of childhood. Not play, not exploration, not nothingness, not boredom, not creativity, but success.” (19:58)

“Our children are not here to live our lives. And they’re not here to fulfill our destinies. They’re here to become their own beings.” (22:46)

“There’s so much to learn. And, really, parenting should just be learning. We don’t know these children that come to us.” (32:16)

“The journey is not outward, it’s inward. You have to go inward in order to make this thing call parenting work.” (34:59)

“Love is the most active thing you can feel. And it really involves no judgement, no approval, no conditions, no transactions. It’s really love for the other person’s essence no matter how they make you feel.” (37:06)

“That’s the beautiful part of life. If life was all happy, there would be no nuance, there would be no adventure, there would be no complexity, and there would be no growth.” (43:27)

“Meditation has been the single most profound tool in my life, so much so that I am more connected inward than outward.” (51:57)

“We can’t be everything to all people and all things and all images of ourselves as women.” (54:44)

“Mothering just takes the life out of us, doesn’t it? And I think that we are ashamed to talk about just how draining it is because we have this mantle of perfection over our heads.” (55:31)

“Prayer is asking the universe for what you want. Meditation and stillness is being quiet long enough to hear the daggone answer.” (41:46)

“When you don’t give yourself permission to fail, you really haven’t given yourself permission to fly.” (47:08)

“When you don’t forgive you, you’ve only given yourself permission to win. And so, you are holding yourself hostage to an unrealistic expectation that sets yourself up to be disappointed with self repeatedly.” (49:53)
