I love Brene Brown. It’s not hard. She’s brilliant, hilarious in a dry, witty way that makes you want to hear more about her research into shame and vulnerability. She went viral for this Ted talk a few years ago. Some of her books are Dare to Lead and Daring Greatly.
Her latest project is a Netflix special – The Call to Courage. Watch it now. There’s so much there. And, you know, maybe have some tissues and a notebook ready.
Brown says vulnerability is a prerequisite to courage – and while I really wish this wasn’t the case, I believe her. Do I like it? Ugh. But she has ALL the science to back it up and she talks about it with a contagious Texas smile.
She starts the show with the gob smack to the face – Time is the biggest, most precious, and so unfortunately, unrenewable resource.
I’m fussy about my time. I spend it with my family, on my family-business, and my writing. But starting last January, I added a new family. They’re a bit crazy and all things fantastic and we’re all doing a 200 hour Yoga teacher training together.
I’m not ready to share too much, especially since my graduation test is this weekend. But, I will say, being vulnerable with this group of yogis has been a privilege. And vulnerable we have been. Brene would be proud of our little group.
So, watch Brene on Netflix. And I’ll let you know how my vulnerability test goes this weekend, i.e my graduation yoga class. And, to push my vulnerability buttons this morning, I’m sharing my playlist here. The courage part can kick in anytime now.
