Vulnerability is not about fear and grief and disappointment it is the birthplace of everything we're hungry for.
Brené Brown
Image
Trust is a product of vulnerability that grows over time and requires work, attention, and full engagement.
Brené Brown
Image
Vulnerability is not knowing victory or defeat, it’s understanding the necessity of both it’s engaging. It’s being all in.

Vulnerability is not weakness.

Worrying about scarcity is our culture's version of post-traumatic stress. It happens when we've been through too much, and rather than coming together to heal (which requires vulnerability) we're angry and scared and at each other's throats.

'Crazy-busy' is a great armor, it's a great way for numbing. What a lot of us do is that we stay so busy, and so out in front of our life, that the truth of how we're feeling and what we really need can't catch up with us.

Vulnerability is not weakness. And that myth is profoundly dangerous... I define vulnerability as emotional risk, exposure, uncertainty. It fuels our daily lives.

If we want to fully experience love and belonging, we must believe that we are worthy of love and belonging.

Brené Brown
Image
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.
