It's hard to practice compassion when we're struggling with our authenticity or when our own worthiness is off-balance.
Brené Brown
Image
Authenticity is also about the courage and the vulnerability to say, Yeah, I'll try it. I feel pretty uncomfortable and I feel a little vulnerable, but I'll try it!

Brené Brown

Through my research, I found that vulnerability is the glue that holds relationships together. It's the magic sauce.
Brené Brown
Image
Courage starts with showing up and letting ourselves be seen.
Brené Brown
Image
Shame works like the zoom lens on a camera. When we are feeling shame, the camera is zoomed in tight and all we see is our flawed selves, alone and struggling.(page 68)
Brené Brown
Image
Those who have a strong sense of love and belonging have the courage to be imperfect.
Brené Brown
Image
You can’t dress rehearse the bad moments.
Brené Brown
Image
Many people think of perfectionism as striving to be your best, but it is not about self-improvement it's about earning approval and acceptance.
Brené Brown
Image
Vulnerability is the absolute heartbeat of innovation and creativity. There can be zero innovation without vulnerability.
Brené Brown
Image
Faith minus vulnerability and mystery equals extremism. If you've got all the answers, then don't call what you do 'faith.'
Brené Brown
Image
Vulnerability is the cornerstone of confidence.
