Shame is the most powerful, master emotion. It's the fear that we're not good enough.
Brené Brown
Image
It was scary. But it was so liberating. I thought, This is not predetermined - I get to choose. There are some days where I have to choose five times in a day. I had to make a choice when you called and the phone rang, whether I'm going to show up and be me, or whether I'm going to say what I think I'm supposed to say and get off the phone.

Courage starts with showing up and letting ourselves be seen.
Brené Brown
Image
Shame cannot survive being spoken. It cannot tolerate having words wrapped around it. What it craves is secrecy, silence, and judgment. If you stay quiet, you stay in a lot of self-judgment.

I’m not very creative” doesn’t work. There’s no such thing as creative people and non-creative people. There are only people who use their creativity and people who don’t. Unused creativity doesn’t just disappear. It lives within us until it’s expressed, neglected to death, or suffocated by resentment and fear.

Image
Embracing our vulnerabilities is risky but not nearly as dangerous as giving up on love and belonging and joy.
Brené Brown
Image
But I don't think it's as dangerous, scary, or terrifying as getting to the end of our lives and wondering, what if I would have shown up?
Brené Brown
Image
Let ourselves be seen, deeply seen, vulnerably seen, to love with our whole hearts, even though there's no guarantee... to practice gratitude and joy in those moments of terror, to be this vulnerable means that we’re alive.
Brené Brown
Image
Our capacity for wholeheartednes s can never be greater than our willingness to be broken-hearted.
Brené Brown
Image
That's what life is about: about daring greatly, about being in the arena.

We're a nation of exhausted and over-stressed adults raising over-scheduled children.
