If we want to be able to move through the difficult disappointments, the hurt feelings, and the heartbreaks that are inevitable in a fully lived life, we can't equate defeat with being unworthy of love, belonging and joy. If we do, we'll never show up and try again.
Brené Brown

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.
Brené Brown
Image
Shame is the most powerful, master emotion. It's the fear that we're not good enough.
Brené Brown
Image
It’s no longer a question of can I do it. It’s a question of: Do I want to do it?
