Another Smart Woman

Brene Brown is voice worth hearing.

This is what it says on her website:

"The official line: I’m a research professor at the University of Houston where I hold the Huffington Endowed Chair. I’ve spent the past sixteen years studying courage, vulnerability, empathy, and shame. I’m the author of four books: The Gifts of Imperfection, Daring Greatly, Rising Strong, And Braving the Wilderness.


The bottom line: I believe that vulnerability – the willingness to be “all in” even when you know it can mean failing and hurting – is brave. I do NOT believe that cussing and praying are mutually exclusive. And, I absolutely believe that the passing lane is for passing only."


She gave a brilliant moving talk on 01/21/18 at the National Cathderal in Washington, DC.

I looked for a transcript of this smart, inspiring talk.

I couldn't find one.

Tribal networking is an antidote to loneliness!

Being vulnerable was something I ran from. Failing and sharing were not allowed. I thought I had to be perfect. Thankfully I know better and it does require bravery. Sometimes the old way does creep back in.

You are an example to us all.
So glad our villages are mutually supportive!

interesting choice of phrase. I choose "at risk." Maybe is a guy thing. Obviously when one takes a risk one faces vulnerability.

Since I'm a cusser (a professional hazard), I like her philosophy.
