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
Brené Brown
Image
Authenticity is also about the courage and the vulnerability to say, Yeah, I'll try it. I feel pretty uncomfortable and I feel a little vulnerable, but I'll try it!

Empathy is the antidote to shame.

We need to change what we say and what we allow to be said in front of us.

Courage starts with showing up and letting ourselves be seen.

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.

I can't be paralyzed anymore by the critics. My new mantra is, if you're not in the arena getting your ass kicked on occasion, then I'm not interested in your feedback. You don't get to sit in the cheat seat and criticize my appearance or my work with mean-spiritedness if you're also not in the arena.

I'm just so grateful, because to feel this vulnerable means I'm alive.
Brené Brown

Vulnerability pushed, I pushed back. I lost the fight, but probably won my life back.

Everything that these folks are saying that they're trying to move away from, like comparison, perfectionism, judgement, and exhaustion as a status symbol - that all describes my life. It was more like a medical researcher studying a disease and figuring out he or she has it.

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
Image
When the people we love stop paying attention, trust begins to slip away and hurt starts seeping in.
Brené Brown
Image
In order for connection to happen, we have to allow ourselves to be seen, really seen.
Brené Brown
Image
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

Vulnerability is not about fear and grief and disappointment it is the birthplace of everything we're hungry for.

There’s nothing more daring than showing up, putting ourselves out there and letting ourselves be seen.
