Our job is not to deny the story, but to defy the ending—to rise strong, recognize our story, and rumble with the truth until we get to a place where we think, Yes. This is what happened. This is my truth. And I will choose how this story ends.”Rising Strong: How the Ability to Reset Transforms the Way We Live, Love, Parent, and Lead by Brené Brownwww.amazon.com/Rising-Strong-Abi…ent/dp/081298580X
