Brene Brown is a researcher storyteller. She’s incredibly honest about her personal failings and discoveries while doing her research on shame and vulnerability. She’s been called to speak in front of large groups of people — including groups of people not known for sharing their feelings like 350 SWAT team officers, parole officers and prison guards — BECAUSE she’s willing to be so vulnerable with her own struggles with what she’s learned about shame and vulnerability.

 

She makes it clear that doing the work is a lifetime practice, and it’s not easy. It’s courageous work. It’s the work we don’t want to do because it feels uncomfortable. But once we do it, we find the keys to better relationships with other people and ourselves. 

 

And then she’s written several books that are New York Times Best Sellers like The Gifts of Imperfection, Daring Greatly, Rising Strong, Braving the Wilderness and including her latest book Dare to Lead. I’ve linked to all of them in the show notes. 

 

There are 8 concepts I want to highlight in today’s episode that I hope will help bring awareness to your every day understanding of these topics and how they show up in our lives daily. 

 

I understand from my own experience that wrestling with some of these topics is uncomfortable, and I want you to know that I work through these every single day. She doesn’t talk about the easy stuff. Doing the hard stuff brings the biggest payoff in life.
