Image
Shame corrodes the very part of us that believes we are capable of change.
Brené Brown
Image
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.
Brené Brown
Image
Vulnerability is not weakness. And that myth is profoundly dangerous.
Brené Brown
Image
The truth is, I'm a storyteller. And it scares me, because my training as an academic is that the more accessible you are and the more human you are, the less smart you are. It's a shame trigger for me to be honest.
Brené Brown
Image
That's what life is about: about daring greatly, about being in the arena.

What makes you vulnerable makes you beautiful.
Brené Brown
Image
Through my research, I found that vulnerability is the glue that holds relationships together. It's the magic sauce.

There's no evidence that vulnerabilty is weakness.

Compassion is not a virtue -- it is a commitment. It's not something we have or don't have -- it's something we choose to practice.

Image
We're all so busy chasing the extraordinary that we forget to stop and be grateful for the ordinary.

Image
Social media has given us this idea that we should all have a posse of friends when in reality, if we have one or two really good friends, we are lucky.
Brené Brown
Image
Then I tell my own story. The two things that people really need to transform is language to understand their experience and to know they're not alone. It's the combination of the researcher-storyteller part.
Brené Brown
Image
'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.

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.
Brené Brown
Image
I've found what makes children happy doesn't always prepare them to be courageous, engaged adults.
Brené Brown
Image
We can have courage or we can have comfort, but we cannot have both.
Brené Brown
Image
Loving and accepting ourselves are the ultimate acts of courage.

Cool is the emotional straightjacket. It makes us less available for connection which makes us less equipped for leadership roles.
