I think laughter between people is a holy form of connection, of communion. It's the way you and I look at each other and without words, say, I get exactly what you're saying. And so, it's important to me.

More quotes by Brené Brown
Self-compassion is key because when we're able to be gentle with ourselves in the midst of shame, we're more likely to reach out, connect, and experience empathy.
Brené Brown
Everything that these folks are saying that they're trying to move away from, like comparison, perfectionism, judgement, and exhaustion as a status symbol - that all describes my life. It was more like a medical researcher studying a disease and figuring out he or she has it.
Brené Brown
A good life happens when you stop and are grateful for the ordinary moments that so many of us just steamroll over to try to find those extraordinary moments.
Brené Brown
I can't be paralyzed anymore by the critics. My new mantra is, if you're not in the arena getting your ass kicked on occasion, then I'm not interested in your feedback. You don't get to sit in the cheat seat and criticize my appearance or my work with mean-spiritedness if you're also not in the arena.
Brené Brown
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!
Brené Brown
The willingness to show up changes us, It makes us a little braver each time.
Brené Brown
Even to me the issue of stay small, sweet, quiet, and modest sounds like an outdated problem, but the truth is that women still run into those demands whenever we find and use our voices.
Brené Brown
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.
Brené Brown
If you put shame in a petri dish, it needs three ingredients to grow exponentially: secrecy, silence, and judgment. If you put the same amount of shame in the petri dish and douse it with empathy, it can't survive.
Brené Brown
The two most powerful words when we're in struggle: me too.
Brené Brown
If we want to fully experience love and belonging, we must believe that we are worthy of love and belonging.
Brené Brown
Courage - To tell the story of who you are with your whole heart.
Brené Brown
That's what life is about: about daring greatly, about being in the arena.
Brené Brown
I don't just want someone who says they love me I want someone who practices that love for me every day.
Brené Brown
The credit belongs to those of us who are actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood. We strive valiantly and sometimes there's the triumph of achievement but at the worst, we fail, but at least we fail while daring greatly. That has really changed my life. Profoundly changed my life.
Brené Brown
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
'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.
Brené Brown
We need to change what we say and what we allow to be said in front of us.
Brené Brown
Cool is the emotional straightjacket. It makes us less available for connection which makes us less equipped for leadership roles.
Brené Brown
I can't even think of the right word, but it's not help. It's more like a prerequisite. I think connection is why we're here, it's what gives purpose and meaning to our lives, and belonging is in our DNA. And so tribe and belonging are irreducible needs, like love.
