I'm dumb. I can't figure out how to end world hunger. But I do promise that I will continue to change healthcare in this country and make it more affordable, possibly setting a path towards Universal Healthcare.

Just because something is normalized within society doesn’t mean it’s good for you.

“I wasn’t that deep at your age” makes me excited to see how much wiser I will be at the age of people that tell me things like that

Eating a NY strip with under eye mask patches on. Adulthood is alright.

One of the clearest signs of learning is rethinking your assumptions and revising your opinions.

The pretend stew my child is making involves baked carrots. I don’t know where he is going with that but I support it

Woke up to the sound of my kid pouring vinegar into the water I had on my nightstand so there’s that

My 4 year old said “Bon appetit! Eat up!” As he shoved food into my mouth. What a cultured and bossy little guy. I’m so proud lol

I’ve accepted that outgrowing people is a natural and healthy part of life. There is no reason to stay anchored to people that only resonate with past versions of yourself.

A company isn't a family. Parents don't fire their kids for low performance or furlough them in hard times. A better vision for a workplace is a community—a place where people bond around shared values, feel valued as human beings, and have a voice in decisions that affect them.

My patience for incompetence is dangerously low. It’s so hard to hide how angry I get when people can’t perform simple tasks around me.

Too many people spend their lives being dutiful descendants instead of good ancestors. The responsibility of each generation is not to please their predecessors. It's to improve things for their offspring. It's more important to make your children proud than your parents proud.

Holding tight to the way things are “supposed to be” keeps you from the way they are meant to be for you

I love that as women we understand the power of talking about our feelings in order to move forward. I love that we talk to our friends about the same thing until it’s fully out of our systems. I love us!

Great minds don’t think alike. They challenge each other to think differently. The people who teach you the most are the ones who share your principles but not your thought processes. Converging values draw you to similar questions. Diverging views introduce you to new answers.

Intellectualizing my feelings was so much easier than having to actually feel them. Lame.

Money can’t buy you happiness but it sure helps fix a lot of problems that lead to lack thereof

In toxic cultures, people prove their intelligence by tearing others down. In healthy cultures, people use their intelligence to build others up. Knowledge and expertise are not weapons to wield. They're resources to share.

The IOS update is a true abomination

Me 🤝🏽 sharing a fun fact I just learned every time it’s mildly applicable

Word of the day is ‘sequaciousness’ (16th century): the slavish and reckless following of another person in matters of thought or opinion.

Jesus was at Walgreen’s again.

It’s not about rest rooms. Any more than it was about water fountains.

Literally..

One thing I repeat in adulthood from childhood is always asking “why” questions. I learn so much from everyone with that alone

I feel ancient 🙂

Finding out I’m not actually super human is tragic every time

Please read books. I’m begging you.

Word of the day is ‘quiddler’ (19th century): one who pays great attention to trivial matters as a way of avoiding the important ones.

Hindsight is 20/20 billion trillion

Me: I want to get to the end goal faster Mentors: you’re young grasshopper

“As a psychologist I don’t like not knowing why I do things” Adam Grant has never said anything more relatable

Becoming a psychologist is constantly putting the pieces together from your past and realizing why you are the way you are

The wiser I become, the more I realize how wise my parents have always been. I constantly remember little nuggets they’ve told me as a child.

What you do reveals who you are and what you value. While often times what you say is just what you try to convince yourself of Example: I don’t like drama Reality: you feed into it by not ignoring it

There's a Broadway show for every creepy occasion

Cried thanking my kid’s speech therapist so we are off to an emotional start lol

China has passed Europe as the second-largest all-time emitter of greenhouse gases, shifting the debate about who pays for global warming.

Ordering books at 5 am. I need to go back to sleep lol

“Franyris don’t say that!” , sounds like “wow that was a bar, say that!” To me idk idk 🙃

I had a very good talk with my mom about arrogance and intelligence. It was more like a talk about why humility is important in hindsight. At one point she said “when you’re arrogant you not only disrespect the other person but you disrespect yourself too” 🤔. I have to ask what that last part meant
