Brené Brown

And now let’s jump into episode 1877 of The School of Greatness!

Some Questions I Ask:

• How do we find out who we are?
• What would you say is the time in your life you’ve been the most alone?
• How can men communicate better or feel like it’s okay to be vulnerable when we’ve been taught our whole lives that vulnerability is weakness?
• Is there an area of your life right now where you don’t feel you’re courageous enough?
• If you had a microphone and everyone had headphones on and you got a message to share to all the men in the world, what would you say?
• What’s the process that someone should take on when they feel shame, anger, or rage?
• Is there anything you feel ashamed of still?

In this episode, you will learn:

• Master the practice of belonging to yourself first, so you can show up authentically everywhere without betraying who you really are.
• Understand the direct relationship between vulnerability and courage, and why you cannot be brave without being willing to face uncertainty and risk.
• Discover why fitting in is the opposite of belonging and how changing yourself to be accepted actually destroys your chance at true connection.
• Learn the proven process for dealing with shame when it shows up, including why speaking it out loud is the only way to strip away its power.
• Break through the myth that vulnerability is weakness and recognize it as the birthplace of every meaningful achievement in your life.
• Plus much more…
