Brene’ also speaks on how not everyone is entitled to your story!

The hardest part of being vulnerable, is knowing whom to open up to. That requires a lot of discernment and a very high level of social intelligence.

The host has such a sensitive gaze. Looks very honest.

I always think of pain in a cup, and when our cup fills over too much we can overshare and not understand boundaries and spill that pain onto others....mostly unknowingly and sometimes not.

God sent. Thank you.

"When you are in uncertainty, When you feel at risk When you feel exposed, Dont tap out. Stay brave, Stay uncomfortable, stay in the cringing moment, lean into the hard conversation and keep leading"

"All I'm saying about vulnerability is that when you are in uncertainty, when you feel at risk, when you feel exposed, *don't tap out.* Stay brave, stay uncomfortable, stay in the cringey moment, lean into the hard conversation, and keep leading."

[chuckhockey]

Vulnerability is taking risks and telling truth.

[Selfweaponize]

If someone does not mind being exposed, that someone is free.

Chk-chk-chk-chk-chk-chk-chk — the 60 Minutes outtro did exactly what she *just* said *not* to do. 😆👍

[jpete]

Just read her book Daring Greatly and it’s a wonderful book. Unfortunately many companies still lead their employees and use fear and shame as “motivators”.

[elizabethjones]

You can be vulnerable without exposing details.

[anoopg]

It's not about sharing or being vulnerable, it's about being honest - being emotionally honest and consequently transparent.
Vulnerability is the "feeling" experienced while being honest but at the end of the day the goal is to be honest and risk it all for your truth, simple!

[magic]

Look at the sense of urgency combined with authenticity in the way she’s giving the message…she’s clearly doing what she was put here to do and we need to listen to her

[ananemously]

When you are in uncerainty, at risk, exposed, stay brave, stay uncomfortable, lean into the hard conversation, and keep leading. Be aware of your armor and stay human.

[juicesandberries]

Excellent advice. I feel people see the "human" in you when you allow your armor to come down. It's not a sign of weakness.

My first Brene' Brown YouTube video. I am hooked.

[lousunny]

Lol 😂 the fake vulnerability got me. That pisses me off too. 🤣🤣

[crcajo]

I love Brene Brown but I find it very hard to live and walk in this world in our lifetime. I struggle with discernment in not knowing when and what to say to and around whomever.

[musicman]

I love that she made the 60 minute stopwatch outro sound just before it ended ☺

[haitiancreolewithluciano]

There’s definitely a fine line between the two!
