“When you let people be who they are, you give them space to become even more.”Cheryl Richardson

There’s something powerful about feeling safe, feeling valued, feeling believed in.

That’s when the energy settles.
That’s when the good stuff happens.
That’s when we shine.

“You know what’s underrated? Letting people be. Letting them mispronounce a word, talk too much about a show they love, or get excited about something you don’t understand. You don’t have to get it, just be kind. Everyone’s got something that lights them up. Let them shine, even if it’s not your thing.”
