Authenticity is the daily practice of letting go of who we think we're supposed to be and embracing who we are.
Brené Brown
Image
Vulnerability is not about fear and grief and disappointment it is the birthplace of everything we're hungry for.
Brené Brown
Image
I believe that owning our worthiness is the act of acknowledging that we are sacred. Perhaps embracing vulnerability and overcoming numbing is ultimately about the care and feeding of our spirits

We cannot ignore our pain and feel compassion for it at the same time.

Image
The credit belongs to those of us who are actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood. We strive valiantly and sometimes there's the triumph of achievement but at the worst, we fail, but at least we fail while daring greatly. That has really changed my life. Profoundly changed my life.

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.

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
We cannot selectively numb emotions, when we numb the painful emotions, we also numb the positive emotions.
Brené Brown
Image
Faith minus vulnerability is fundamentalism
Brené Brown
Image
We cultivate love when we allow our most vulnerable and powerful selves to be deeply seen and known, and when we honor the spiritual connection that grows from that offering with trust, respect, kindness and affection
Brené Brown
Image
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.

Image
Shame is the most powerful, master emotion. It's the fear that we're not good enough.
Brené Brown
Image
I don't just want someone who says they love me I want someone who practices that love for me every day.
