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.

Empathy doesn't require that we have the exact same experiences as the person sharing their story with us...Empathy is connecting with the emotion that someone is experiencing, not the event or the circumstance.

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.

Let go of who you think you should be in order to be who you are. Be imperfect and have compassion for yourself. Connection is the result of authenticity.

In order for connection to happen, we have to allow ourselves to be seen, really seen.

Courage starts with showing up and letting ourselves be seen.

Image
Who we are matters immeasurably more than what we know or who we want to be.
Brené Brown
Image
We cannot selectively numb emotions, when we numb the painful emotions, we also numb the positive emotions.
Brené Brown
Image
Love is a connection that can only be cultivated between two people when it exists within each one of them - we can only love others as much as we love ourselves.

What makes you vulnerable makes you beautiful.

There are infinite numbers of do overs for your teen girls.

Image
Shame is the most powerful, master emotion. It's the fear that we're not good enough.
Brené Brown
Image
If you put shame in a petri dish, it needs three ingredients to grow exponentially: secrecy, silence, and judgment. If you put the same amount of shame in the petri dish and douse it with empathy, it can't survive.
