Even to me the issue of stay small, sweet, quiet, and modest sounds like an outdated problem, but the truth is that women still run into those demands whenever we find and use our voices.

If you own this story you get to write the ending.

Why, when we know that there's no such thing as perfect, do most of us spend an incredible amount of time and energy trying to be everything to everyone? Is it that we really admire perfection? No - the truth is that we are actually drawn to people who are real and down-to-earth. We love authenticity and we know that life is messy and imperfect.
Brené Brown
Vulnerability is not weakness. And that myth is profoundly dangerous... I define vulnerability as emotional risk, exposure, uncertainty. It fuels our daily lives.
Brené Brown
Wholeheartedness. There are many tenets of Wholeheartedness, but at its very core is vulnerability and worthiness facing uncertainty, exposure, and emotional risks, and knowing that I am enough.
Brené Brown
Healthy striving is self-focused: How can I improve? Perfectionism is other-focused: What will they think?
Brené Brown
Nostalgia is also a dangerous form of comparison. Think about how often we compare our lives to a memory that nostalgia has so completely edited that it never really existed.
Brené Brown
Perfect and bulletproof are seductive, but they don’t exist in the human experience.
Brené Brown
Numb the dark and you numb the light.
Brené Brown
Vulnerability is not knowing victory or defeat, it’s understanding the necessity of both it’s engaging. It’s being all in.
Brené Brown
Hope is not an emotion it's a way of thinking or a cognitive process.
Brené Brown
We cannot selectively numb emotions, when we numb the painful emotions, we also numb the positive emotions.
Brené Brown
People may call what happens at midlife 'a crisis,' but it's not. It's an unraveling - a time when you feel a desperate pull to live the life you want to live, not the one you're 'supposed' to live. The unraveling is a time when you are challenged by the universe to let go of who you think you are supposed to be and to embrace who you are.
