'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.

Brené Brown
When we numb [hard feelings], we numb joy, we numb gratitude, we numb happiness.
Brené Brown
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.
Brené Brown
If you can't say it to me in front of my kids, don't say it.

Brené Brown
Hope is really a thought.
Brené Brown
Don't do anything that you're already not great at doing.
Brené Brown
The question isn't so much Are you parenting the right way? as it is: Are you the adult that you want your child to grow up to be?
Brené Brown
I've found what makes children happy doesn't always prepare them to be courageous, engaged adults.
Brené Brown
It’s no longer a question of can I do it. It’s a question of: Do I want to do it?
Brené Brown
Knowledge is important, but only if we're being kind and gentle with ourselves as we work to discover who we are.
Brené Brown
Every single person has a story that will break your heart. And if you're paying attention, many people... have a story that will bring you to your knees. Nobody rides for free.
Brené Brown
If we can share our story with someone who responds with empathy and understanding, shame can't survive.
