Even to me the issue of stay small, sweet, quiet, and modest sounds like an outdated problem, but the truth is that women still run into those demands whenever we find and use our voices.

More quotes by Brené Brown
We don't have to be perfect, just engaged and committed to aligning values with actions.
Brené Brown
If you put shame in a petri dish, it needs three ingredients to grow exponentially: secrecy, silence, and judgment. If you put the same amount of shame in the petri dish and douse it with empathy, it can't survive.
Brené Brown
If you want to make a difference, the next time you see someone being cruel to another human being, take it personally. Take it personally because it is personal!
Brené Brown
[I] never talk about gratitude and joy separately, for this reason. In 12 years, I've never interviewed a single person who would describe their lives as joyful, who would describe themselves as joyous, who was not actively practicing gratitude.
Brené Brown
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
A good life happens when you stop and are grateful for the ordinary moments that so many of us just steamroll over to try to find those extraordinary moments.
Brené Brown
We teach what we have to learn. It's been an extraordinary journey that I couldn't have done with not only the research participants but the community, the tribe that we've built of people who are also on this journey.
Brené Brown
Vulnerability pushed, I pushed back. I lost the fight, but probably won my life back.
Brené Brown
Talk about your failures without apologizing.
Brené Brown
We need to change what we say and what we allow to be said in front of us.
Brené Brown
There is no creativity without vulnerability.
Brené Brown
Connection gives purpose and meaning to our lives.
Brené Brown
When the people we love stop paying attention, trust begins to slip away and hurt starts seeping in.
Brené Brown
Authenticity is the daily practice of letting go of who we think we're supposed to be and embracing who we are.
Brené Brown
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
Shame derives its power from being unspeakable.
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
It was scary. But it was so liberating. I thought, This is not predetermined - I get to choose. There are some days where I have to choose five times in a day. I had to make a choice when you called and the phone rang, whether I'm going to show up and be me, or whether I'm going to say what I think I'm supposed to say and get off the phone.
Brené Brown
Let ourselves be seen, deeply seen, vulnerably seen, to love with our whole hearts, even though there's no guarantee... to practice gratitude and joy in those moments of terror, to be this vulnerable means that we’re alive.
Brené Brown
