There is no creativity without vulnerability.
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
It's hard to practice compassion when we're struggling with our authenticity or when our own worthiness is off-balance.
Brené Brown
Image
I believe that owning our worthiness is the act of acknowledging that we are sacred. Perhaps embracing vulnerability and overcoming numbing is ultimately about the care and feeding of our spirits
Brené Brown
Image
Vulnerability is the absolute heartbeat of innovation and creativity. There can be zero innovation without vulnerability.
Brené Brown
Image
Knowledge is important, but only if we're being kind and gentle with ourselves as we work to discover who we are.
Brené Brown
Image
You are imperfect, you are wired for struggle, but you are worthy of love and belonging.
Brené Brown
Image
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.
Brené Brown
Image
Shame corrodes the very part of us that believes we are capable of change.
Brené Brown
Image
Healthy striving is self-focused: How can I improve? Perfectionism is other-focused: What will they think?

Image
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.

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.
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
Through my research, I found that vulnerability is the glue that holds relationships together. It's the magic sauce.
Brené Brown
Image
I'm just so grateful, because to feel this vulnerable means I'm alive.
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.

Image
We would solve a lot of huge problems that are causing massive suffering. Poverty, violence, homophobia, heterosexism, racism, the environment - all these things that are crippling us. We need big, bold, dangerous, crazy ideas to solve these problems. When failure is not an option, innovation and creativity are not options.

Image
Perfect and bulletproof are seductive, but they don’t exist in the human experience.
Brené Brown
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.
Brené Brown
Image
I spent a lot of years trying to outrun or outsmart vulnerability by making things certain and definite, black and white, good and bad. My inability to lean into the discomfort of vulnerability limited the fullness of those important experiences that are wrought with uncertainty: love, belonging, trust, joy, and creativity, to name a few.
