i'm wrong taking ownership of something gone wrong. but the first one is no. why is no such ad hard wor to say for people? >> i hadworld-class brawling relationship with my mother as a teenager. i was not the easiest, most ob ient kid on theblock, and now i have teegers of my own, so i have come to so admire her ability to say no and hold the line, like no amount of whimpering or h sulking couldave changed the outcome, b m interesting about her is the way e handledeses and noes in the context of her marriage. eas an introvertwho liked to ttve a pty for one, which was like a c and chardonnay on ice. and my dad could gto four parties in one night and want to stop at one more on the way home, and she got to a place where she had a sort of radical notion that everybody was entirely responsible for their own happess. so if that meant he went to the part and she didn't go to the party, so be anit. that's a little no, but then, i think little noes

prepare you for the big noes like later in my lifei did a lot of trements for cancer and part of that was losing my ovaries, and i really wanted more ki, and so i went researching all the different ways peopl grow theirfamily, and i presented my husband with this spreadsheet with my heart hoet and said what do you think? and he said, i can't do it. we just climbed a mountain. you're healthy, the kids are healthy.ut let's get o of the casino. i want to b the family we are. that's a total responsibility of every married person, to say no when you need to say . >> sometimes it does take more energy and courage to stick to a no, a no that f comesrom y. integrit another phrase you say that we should embrace is good enough. which i think has sort of that kind of pejorative good enough is not great, boo g enough. but you think we should kind of have a different perspective. >> yeah, w at this bat mitts a a couple years ago with my

13-year-old, who is like a ofessional bachelorette watching, et cetera, and there's 90 friend up there for minuikte s lakepeing i n backwards from an ancient text, singing in front of her pe ts, andn we're saying back to her, you are ready. you are enough to enter, to contribute, to be a meaningful participant in the world around you. and i thought that was so powerful. i thought, oh, my god, i'm not asking enough of my kids. i myself was g sort ofng no . was like eatinginute rwhice a3 front of hospital." >> butalener good enough is oka sense. >> yes, absolutely. and i think it's such an enabling statement. i think that being told repeatedly that, even as you are, you are good are ready to participate and contribute, you know, allows you to take the first step, and the first step t allows you take the second step, and that's how you get going on your way.

>> we have to get your last, it's like this. period.ing it with a just explain briefly what you mean. ople can buy the book and check this wisdom out. readingi'll finish just these two things, but it'sike this basically that you can be wise and full of clarity one day and then two days later you can o moaning and groaning about ten extra pounds a fender bender, and it is our nature to sort of lose track of the clarity that we sometimes achieve. in my case, around the loss of my dad, i was clear about what mattered and what. didn then over time, i started to return to my normal worries, and i felt really ashamed about that. someon said tome, it's like this. it's t in, one back. >> accepting where you e. >> i'll finish with this. minds don't rest. they reel andr wanded fixate and roll back and reconsider because it's like this, having a

mind. hearts don't, idle they swell and constrict and break and forgive and hold, because it's ke this having a heart. lives don't last. they thrill and confound and overflow and disappear because it's like this, having a life. >> you need to do a commencement speech immediately. >> i hav done afew. >> i bet you have. >> thank you so much. so much wisdom in the book. check it out, .today.com/shop if you want to read an excerpt, go to today.com, and we'll send it outside to craig. >> thank you so much. >> still ahead, from swimwear to items for your backyard barbecue, the most-have products that are going to make your summer that much tter, including these skewer things thereat are blowing my mind. >> right? so cool. >> first, this is "today" on >>? so cool. first, thiss "today" on i u know when you're at ross shopping for backpacks...ts ...and mom also ge a back-to-school bag? that's yes for less. ross has the brands you want for back to school.
