“Owning our story can be hard but not nearly as difficult as spending our lives running from it. Embracing our vulnerabilities is risky but not nearly as dangerous as giving up on love and belonging and joy—the experiences that make us the most vulnerable. Only when we are brave enough to explore the darkness will we discover the infinite power of our light.”
― Brene Brown

“We're a nation hungry for more joy: Because we're starving from a lack of gratitude.”
― Brené Brown, The Gifts of Imperfection

“Imperfections are not inadequacies; they are reminders that we're all in this together.”
― Brené Brown

“What we know matters but who we are matters more.”
