Anyone ever heard of Brene Brown? This is a great talk on vulnerability and shame that made me cry just now. Stay with it, even if it's hard. I'm totally sending this to my T.

maybe we should make this a sticky or something.

It is so powerful.

She's one smart cookie, that brene.

Yes, I've seen it before too. "Hunny" posted it somewhere on PC about 2 months ago-- that's how I first heard of Brene Brown.

Thank you for posting it too-- the more it's out there the more people that will get a chance to hear her great talks.

best to you

I saw this a few weeks ago. I really liked what she had to say about raising children and how we are all programed for struggle. It is not our job as parent to make our children believe they are perfect but to make them believe they are worth it. I may have miss quoted it, it was a while back I saw it. But that really stuck with me.

She also wrote a book "I Thought it Was Just Me" that I'm reading. Some of it is too gimmicky (just me - I'm not a diagram person) but there are many good things in there too! She differentiates between shame and guilt and humiliation and embarassment in the book and that is very interesting.
