We cannot selectively numb emotions, when we numb the painful emotions, we also numb the positive emotions.
Brené Brown
Image
Nothing is as uncomfortable, dangerous and hurtful as believing that I'm standing on the outside of my life looking in and wondering what it would be like if I had the courage to show up and let myself be seen.

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

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
Brené Brown
Image
Wholehearted living is not like trying to reach a destination. It's like walking toward a star in the sky. We never really 'arrive,' but we certainly know that we're heading in the right direction.
Brené Brown
Image
If we don’t allow ourselves to experience joy and love, we will definitely miss out on filling our reservoir with what we need when. . . . hard things happen.
Brené Brown
Image
We're all so busy chasing the extraordinary that we forget to stop and be grateful for the ordinary.
Brené Brown
Image
How can we embrace rest and play if we've tied our self-worth to what we produce?
Brené Brown
Image
Most people believe vulnerability is weakness. But really vulnerability is Courage. We must ask ourselves...are we willing to show up and be seen.

Image
Empathy fuels connection sympathy drives disconnection.

Image
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.
