It's about showing up. And sometimes I don't do it. I almost always regret it, but sometimes I don't do it. Sometimes I walk into a situation where I'm intimidated and I want to be liked and I want to fit in, and I don't choose authenticity. And it's always pretty miserable.

Embracing our vulnerabilities is risky but not nearly as dangerous as giving up on love and belonging and joy.
Brené Brown
Image
There is nothing more vulnerable than creativity. . . It's not about winning, it's not about losing, it's about showing up and being seen.
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

Shame corrodes the very part of us that believes we are capable of change.

Ads sell a great deal more than products. They sell values, images, and concepts of success and worth.

Then I tell my own story. The two things that people really need to transform is language to understand their experience and to know they're not alone. It's the combination of the researcher-storyteller part.
