More quotes by Brené Brown
If we can share our story with someone who responds with empathy and understanding, shame can't survive.
Brené Brown
I spent a lot of years trying to outrun or outsmart vulnerability by making things certain and definite, black and white, good and bad. My inability to lean into the discomfort of vulnerability limited the fullness of those important experiences that are wrought with uncertainty: love, belonging, trust, joy, and creativity, to name a few.

Courage is like—it’s a habitus, a habit, a virtue: You get it by courageous acts. It’s like you learn to swim by swimming. You learn courage by couraging.
Brené Brown
I'm just so grateful, because to feel this vulnerable means I'm alive.
Brené Brown
Embracing our vulnerabilities is risky but not nearly as dangerous as giving up on love and belonging and joy.
Brené Brown
Empathy is the antidote to shame.
Brené Brown
What we know matters, but who we are matters more. Being rather than knowing requires showing up and letting ourselves be seen. It requires us to dare greatly, to be vulnerable.
Brené Brown
At the end of my life I want to be able to say I contributed more than I criticized.
Brené Brown
Numb the dark and you numb the light.
