I will always strongly support America's local public libraries and the services they provide.

I went to therapy for the first time when I was 28 years old. On and off I've spent decades of my life talking to a therapist.

We think we're going to therapy to be fixed, but actually I discovered I went to therapy to be heard.
For the first time in my life I could speak out loud all the pain that I kept locked up inside of me.

We're not broken, we have suffering living inside of our precious being that must come out.
It's like having a splinter in the bottom of our foot for decades, that causes us pain every time we walk on it, and once it's out we feel relief and learn to walk again without the pain.

None of us are broken.
We may just need access to therapy.
We can begin the healing process by talking with a trusted friend or therapist who will not invade or abandon us.

You are worthy and whole. I love you. 💚

I want to applaud for this simple request he made on social media the other day. We should all read these words carefully, and take them to heart. When you are causing harm, pain, or hurt to someone, it does not matter if the intention was harmless. We can all stand to put more thought into how we comment about each other. How we say things offhandedly, not always taking the other’s feelings into account. How we focus on appearance rather than what’s inside. Much respect to Jonah!

☝️This article, co-written by Ruchika Tulshyan and Jodi-Ann Burey for the Harvard Business Review, is required reading for anyone who has even a smidgen of responsibility for building and shaping cultures of belonging in the workplace. (It also happens to be among the HBR’s 100 most-read articles of all time.)

In the piece, Ruchika and Jodi-Ann write: “Even if women demonstrate strength, ambition, and resilience, our daily battles with microaggressions, especially expectations and assumptions formed by stereotypes and racism, often push us down. Imposter syndrome as a concept fails to capture this dynamic and puts the onus on women to deal with the effects. Workplaces remain misdirected toward seeking individual solutions for issues disproportionately caused by systems of discrimination and abuses of power.”

I am so deeply grateful to Ruchika and Jodi-Ann for digging in with me today on this powerful episode of “Dare to Lead.”
