If you can't say it to me in front of my kids, don't say it.

Brené Brown

What we know matters, but who we are matters more. Being rather than knowing requires showing up and letting ourselves be seen. It requires us to dare greatly, to be vulnerable.

I don't just want someone who says they love me I want someone who practices that love for me every day.
Brené Brown
Image
I now see how gifts like courage, compassion, and connection only work when they are exercised. Every day.
Brené Brown
Image
It's in our biology to trust what we see with our eyes. This makes living in a carefully edited, overproduced and photoshopped world very dangerous.
Brené Brown
Image
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
