Brené Brown: The power of vulnerability
At lunch recently, my friend Marla, her friend Diane and I discussed life over crêpes and café au lait. They both recommended this TED talk by Brené Brown.
Though the last five minutes provide the 'punch line', the preceding fifteen establish Brown's research and she's so wise, funny and insightful that it's worth the time. And it is not often that an "expert" is so open about her own struggles.
Comments
Seriously, Brown's talk and the book on shame/vulnerability finally let me start to help myself or save myself. I needed those reminders that my pain over work and life choices came from feeling shame and pain about myself, and her message of getting OK with who we are helped SO much. Get OK but be open to feeling - such a better way to be.
