Dr. Brené Brown: The Two Most Dangerous Words in Your Vocabulary | SuperSoul Sunday | OWN

Dr. Brené Brown started her research on vulnerability, worthiness and shame six months before September 11, 2001, and says our culture has been marked by deep fear since then. That fear, she says, has now shifted from external events to the fear that we as individuals are simply not enough. Watch to find out why, Dr. Brown says, those two words lead us to shut down emotionally and spiritually. For more on #supersoulsunday, visit WatchOWN.tv/SSS

"Vulnerability is the birthplace of everything we're hungry for." So good.

[SheaSoutherland]

I'm so happy i stumbled upon Brene Brown. I love this lady so She's so damn relatable and inspirational!

[iPodhumanify]

I could watch these Brene Brown clips 10 times a day! They keep me real and hold me up

[boipelop]

Gosh It took me my whole life to 'really' know that I'm enough ❤️🙏🏾

[marydfoleydavis]

thank God..literally...sets us free from everyone and everything..

[pastephinetaylor]

I'm thankful that Oprah and Brené open up enough to share freely their insight along with and through their vulnerabilities.
If you're reading this: thank you. I appreciate you in my life and in the lives of others.

I love how these two women connect. One of them assigns names and meaning to her process (research) and the other just seems to talk to ppl and ask critical questions. But they are both trying to accomplish the same goal, which is what's important.

Dr, Brene Brown, you spoke about the very thing that I have recognized as being prevalent today. It is the "Scarcity Principle". There's not enough. That is the general consensus I have noticed in my interactions with people and what people say on TV. And it is especially strong in the Tea Party. And the Tea Party's scarcity principle is built on fear and that transfers to many people. So the fear is real to them.
An example of this is the;newscast about how people in Texas reacted when the government brought in women and children from Central America to house them while they decide what can be done. It was almost a riot. Those people were scared because they thought there wasn't enough. Enough food, enough space, enough clothing, etc.
But I believe in the abundance principle.I have faith (and I do not profess to be a Christian) that there is plenty. You have to make a leap of faith. You must open your heart and let it all in. No one can be excluded. Somehow we have to turn people around to the abundance of life Didn't Jesus feed 12 tribes with a few fish and loaves? I imagine that not all of those tribes liked each other. But because of the abundance faith Jesus had all ate and all were peaceful. He did not waste any time thinking about what he should do. He just did it.
My question is how do we prove to people that abundance works? How do we get them to not be afraid of absolutely everything? Terrified people are dangerous people because they believe there is not enough for them and their families. This is the cause of so many wars from real war as in Afghanistan to people fighting over who gets the last seat on the bus. How can we start an organization of abundance?
Thanks, Dr. Em Crosby

An act of courage is an act of story telling!

[Leonorachi]

About the comments criticizing Oprah and Brene: Can we please stop the critical culture? This is what this is all about, and why we have so much shame. We are always in critical mode. I just want to say this as a plea for change. Thank you for your comments, and I know people are going to jump on me and say IM criticizing, but I just want to find a way and wish there was some way I could express that our primary mode in this culture is criticism of everything around us, and this is why so many people are in shame, awkward, and needing therapy to be vulnerable. We're all human, even Oprah, celebrities, and everyone. In fact they have so much courage for showing up in front of the world and expressing their creative work. Lets give each other space to be vulnerable with acceptance and love, and change our culture by changing our words.

[kleversonjdsr]

theyre both amazing! And Oprah is so lovely

[Nerthus]

It is true that we are scared of vulnerability and openness, that we carry a lot of shame and feelings of not being enough. But really, the reason for that is the ego, the idea that "we are and ought to be somebody". If we are nobody or another way to put it, if we are universals, there is no somebody to protect and thus no feeling of vulnerability. Life becomes a flow of experiences, witnessed and never condemned.

[auzziekeyz]

We need to bring her back in 2019 full of insight and knowledge,

[Yellow-Rose]

I cannot begin to tell you how invaluable and beneficial this video is! It is exactly what I need to hear right now as I am shifting careers, and also finally coming into my own awakening. Thank you so much, Oprah, and for bringing Dr. Brown to me as well.

[psychsoul]

I have enough because I AM enough, and THAT is abundance. Thank you Lord.

[nathalieperez]
