More quotes by Brené Brown
Vulnerability is the absolute heartbeat of innovation and creativity. There can be zero innovation without vulnerability.
Brené Brown
You cannot shame or belittle people into changing their behaviors.
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.

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.

Vulnerability is based on mutuality and requires boundaries and trust. It's not oversharing, it's not purging, it's not indiscriminate disclosure, and it's not celebrity-style social media information dumps. Vulnerability is about sharing our feelings and our experiences with people who have earned the right to hear them.

Brené Brown
Even to me the issue of stay small, sweet, quiet, and modest sounds like an outdated problem, but the truth is that women still run into those demands whenever we find and use our voices.
Brené Brown
Ads sell a great deal more than products. They sell values, images, and concepts of success and worth.
Brené Brown
There's no evidence that vulnerabilty is weakness.
Brené Brown
Vulnerability pushed, I pushed back. I lost the fight, but probably won my life back.
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.
Brené Brown
When the people we love stop paying attention, trust begins to slip away and hurt starts seeping in.
Brené Brown
The only universal language I know of that wraps up joy and gratitude and love is laughter.
