Changing the Conversation: Insight from Brené Brown

“Yesterday I was clever, so I wanted to change the world.

Today I am wise, so I am changing myself.”

-Rumi

Despite the evil display of hate crimes and bigotry in Charlottesville this past week, I’m still convinced we live in a loving universe.

Wait, before you look away in discomfort or write this post off as a political rant, stay with me.

We’re not going there today.

(Video) Lessons from Vegas: Leaning into Uncertainty

It really is possible to thrive amid uncertainty. It’s not about getting advice you can trust; it’s about faith and self-trust — believing that whatever happens, you’ll find a way through it.

Adele: Lessons from the Other Side

There is no innovation and creativity without failure. Period.

-Brene Brown

Before we get going, I thought it only fair to circle back around to my last post and cut all that paralyzing suspense regarding my test last Tuesday. Drumroll, please…. I passed!!!!! EEP!This is good news for us both I can assure you as I’ll move on, quit my moaning, and focus on far more interesting things for us to talk about here. I didn’t realize how heavy a burden the whole process has been throughout the last 18 months. The stress of it bled over into other cracks of life, sucking away energy, ease, and time I’d forgotten I had. So, after taking a week off the blog for some much-needed self-care and rest, I feel massive relief and anticipation for more creative space to play around with other projects I’m ready to push forward.

The Stories We Tell

When we deny our stories, they define us. When we own our stories, we get to write the ending.

-Brené Brown, Rising Strong

I’m about to tell you something you may not have considered about yourself; perhaps something you are completely unaware of. Despite being introverted, extroverted, highly entertaining, or completely terrified of public speaking, this truth remains. You ready for this?
