“Practicing gratitude is one of the best gifts you can give yourself and others.”

“I didn't always understand the difference between normal biological teenage development and a real problem.”

“Any time you see your child in need or in pain, I think as parents we immediately go into fix-and-protect mode. But in fact, they just want us to listen to them. They want us to validate their feelings. Not judge them. And also share our own struggles.”

“People care about what I have to say now, and they want to hear it, and that's one of the greatest gifts you can be given.”

“My father is good with advice, as you might guess. But he keeps it short, and the takeaway is usually the same: to help us find our own way and our own gifts.”

“I was never once told to consider anything but my dreams. It's probably one of the greatest gifts my parents gave me, because it never occurred to me to do something other than what I loved.”
