Sufficiency isn't two steps up from poverty or one step short of abundance. It isn't a measure of barely enough or more than enough. Sufficiency isn't an amount at all. It is an experience, a context we generate, a declaration, a knowing that there is enough, and that we are enough.

We don't have to be perfect, just engaged and committed to aligning values with actions.

Image
Even to me the issue of stay small, sweet, quiet, and modest sounds like an outdated problem, but the truth is that women still run into those demands whenever we find and use our voices.

Vulnerability is about showing up and being seen. It's tough to do that when we're terrified about what people might see or think.

When the people we love stop paying attention, trust begins to slip away and hurt starts seeping in.

Authenticity is the daily practice of letting go of who we think we're supposed to be and embracing who we are.
Brené Brown
Image
We need to change what we say and what we allow to be said in front of us.
Brené Brown
Image
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.

If we want to make meaning, we need to make art. Cook, write, draw, doodle, paint, scrapbook, take pictures, collage, knit, rebuild an engine, sculpt, dance, decorate, act, sing - it doesn't matter. As long as we're creating, we're cultivating meaning.
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
In order for connection to happen, we have to allow ourselves to be seen, really seen.
Brené Brown
Image
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.
Brené Brown
Image
Authenticity is also about the courage and the vulnerability to say, Yeah, I'll try it. I feel pretty uncomfortable and I feel a little vulnerable, but I'll try it!

If you own this story you get to write the ending.
Brené Brown
Image
We can talk about courage and love and compassion until we sound like a greeting card store, but unless we're willing to have an honest conversation about what gets in the way of putting these into practice in our daily lives, we will never change. Never, ever.

Connection, the ability to feel connected, is neurobiologically wired, that’s why we’re here!
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.

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.
