More quotes by Brené Brown
We can’t practice compassion with other people if we can’t treat ourselves kindly.
Brené Brown
I believe in the healing power of laughter. I believe laughter forces us to breathe.
Brené Brown
If we want to live and love with our whole hearts, and if we want to engage with the world from a place of worthiness, we have to talk about the things that get in the way- especially shame, fear and vulnerability
Brené Brown
We cannot give our children what we don't have. Where we are on our journey of living and loving with our whole hearts is a much stronger indicator of parenting success than anything we can learn from how-to books.
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.

Faith minus vulnerability is fundamentalism
Brené Brown
When you numb your pain you also numb your joy.
Brené Brown
Let go of who you think you should be in order to be who you are. Be imperfect and have compassion for yourself. Connection is the result of authenticity.

I define connection as the energy that exists between people when they feel seen, heard, and valued when they can give and receive without judgment and when they derive sustenance and strength from the relationship.
Brené Brown
Loving and accepting ourselves are the ultimate acts of courage.
Brené Brown
The difficult thing is that vulnerability is the first thing I look for in you and the last thing I'm willing to show you. In you, it's courage and daring. In me, it's weakness.
Brené Brown
At the end of my life I want to be able to say I contributed more than I criticized.
Brené Brown
I can't even think of the right word, but it's not help. It's more like a prerequisite. I think connection is why we're here, it's what gives purpose and meaning to our lives, and belonging is in our DNA. And so tribe and belonging are irreducible needs, like love.
Brené Brown
Are you the adult that you want your child to grow up to be?
Brené Brown
Nostalgia is also a dangerous form of comparison. Think about how often we compare our lives to a memory that nostalgia has so completely edited that it never really existed.
Brené Brown
Daring to set boundaries is about having the courage to love ourselves, even when we risk disappointing others.
Brené Brown
I'm an academic. I'm hardwired for a good debate.
Brené Brown
If we want to fully experience love and belonging, we must believe that we are worthy of love and belonging.
