We teach what we have to learn. It's been an extraordinary journey that I couldn't have done with not only the research participants but the community, the tribe that we've built of people who are also on this journey.

More quotes by Brené Brown
Numb the dark and you numb the light.
Brené Brown
You cannot shame or belittle people into changing their behaviors.
Brené Brown
Loving and accepting ourselves are the ultimate acts of courage.
Brené Brown
The universe is not short on wake-up calls. We’re just quick to hit the snooze button.
Brené Brown
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
That's what life is about: about daring greatly, about being in the arena.
Brené Brown
Why, when we know that there's no such thing as perfect, do most of us spend an incredible amount of time and energy trying to be everything to everyone? Is it that we really admire perfection? No - the truth is that we are actually drawn to people who are real and down-to-earth. We love authenticity and we know that life is messy and imperfect.
Brené Brown
Ads sell a great deal more than products. They sell values, images, and concepts of success and worth.
Brené Brown
Vulnerability is based on mutuality and requires boundaries and trust. It's not oversharing, it's not purging, it's not indiscriminate disclosure, and it's not celebrity-style social media information dumps. Vulnerability is about sharing our feelings and our experiences with people who have earned the right to hear them.
Brené Brown
Healthy striving is self-focused: How can I improve? Perfectionism is other-focused: What will they think?
Brené Brown
Cool is the emotional straightjacket. It makes us less available for connection which makes us less equipped for leadership roles.
Brené Brown
People may call what happens at midlife 'a crisis,' but it's not. It's an unraveling - a time when you feel a desperate pull to live the life you want to live, not the one you're 'supposed' to live. The unraveling is a time when you are challenged by the universe to let go of who you think you are supposed to be and to embrace who you are.
Brené Brown
Hope is a function of struggle.
Brené Brown
Vulnerability sounds like truth and feels like courage.
Brené Brown
Who we are matters immeasurably more than what we know or who we want to be.
Brené Brown
[I] never talk about gratitude and joy separately, for this reason. In 12 years, I've never interviewed a single person who would describe their lives as joyful, who would describe themselves as joyous, who was not actively practicing gratitude.
Brené Brown
Embracing our vulnerabilities is risky but not nearly as dangerous as giving up on love and belonging and joy.
Brené Brown
I'm just so grateful, because to feel this vulnerable means I'm alive.
Brené Brown
Many people think of perfectionism as striving to be your best, but it is not about self-improvement it's about earning approval and acceptance.
Brené Brown
We can’t practice compassion with other people if we can’t treat ourselves kindly.
