I urge you to watch Dr. Brené Brown’s 20 minute TED Talk on Whole-heartedness. I promise it is the best investment you can make with your time!
Here are a few thoughts from Brene:
- Connection is the universal desire of all human beings.
- Shame is the fear of disconnection
- Courage is telling your story with your whole heart and being seen in your imperfections.
- We can’t practice compassion if we don’t treat ourselves kindly.
- You are imperfect, wired for struggle and worthy of love and belonging.
- Being fully vulnerable is being fully alive.
