Vulnerability is like being naked onstage and hoping for applause rather than laughter.

Brené Brown

We are a culture of people who’ve bought into the idea that if we stay busy enough, the truth of our lives won’t catch up with us.

Brené Brown

We can’t give people what we don’t have. Who we are matters immeasurably more than what we know or who we want to be.

Brené Brown

We can’t opt out of the uncertainty, risk, and emotional exposure that’s woven through our daily experiences. Life is vulnerable.

Brené Brown

We don’t have to be perfect, just engaged and committed to aligning values with action.

Brené Brown

We judge people in areas where we’re vulnerable to shame, especially picking folks who are doing worse than we’re doing.

Brené Brown

We love seeing raw truth and openness in other people, but we’re afraid to let them see it in us.

Brené Brown

We must take off the armor, put down the weapons, show up, and let ourselves be seen.

Brené Brown

We’re all so busy chasing the extraordinary that we forget to stop and be grateful for the ordinary.

Brené Brown

When all that binds us is what we believe rather than who we are, changing our mind or challenging the collective ideology is risky.
