Brene Brown's Netflix special
We watched this last weekend & it was a great way for my husband to be introduced to her work. (he's too impatient to read the books or listen to the audio)
I've read all of her books & listened to tons of interviews & podcasts so most of the content wasn't new to me but it was awesome to have it all organized in one place like this. It's a great way to get associated with her work & decide how/if you want to dive in further.
More than anything, I wanted the 3 of us to watch this so that we can come away with some shared language/ideas for communicating more effectively during stressful times & I think it helped with that quite a bit. She talks like a real person & that makes her & her methods relatable to me. When she illustrates points from her work she uses stories from her own life & her own language as examples & it's hard not to relate.
Anyone else watched it yet?

Lol trailmix - yes, that sorta counts, ha.
We are using her most recent book at my office. She has a printable workbook online to use along with the text from Dare to Lead (& other books). Even though we're a tiny firm, we've gotten a lot out of it so far. (we haven't done much, it's been our busy season)
Good stuff!

I’ve watched the special and also heard her on Tedtalk. Really like her style of sharing information in a sown to earth manner. She was also a recent guest on Marc Maron’s podcast, WTF. The format is more informal, less scripted, and conversational. Mandy Moore was also a guest a couple of months ago and they talk about toxic and co-dependent relationships. Worth listening!

I've become a fan of the show overall - I really appreciate the recommendation!

I loved the Netflix special and just after it came out she also appeared on the 10% Happier Podcast and loved that too.
I know I have some big, old, pieces that are ready to bubble up for me to start working on.....I suspect they are tied into vulnerability and courage. It is interesting because I am both excited and terrified for what this will bring but after being here so often before at least I can trust my process....and her research.

So many incredible quotes...
“I’m going to live in the arena. I’m going to be brave with my life. I’m going to show up. I’m going to take chances, and if you’re brave with your life, if you choose to live in the arena, you’re going to get your a*s kicked. You’re going to fall, you’re going to fail, you’re going to know heartbreak. Today, I choose courage over comfort.”
“Show up, be seen, answer the call to courage, cause you’re worth it. You’re worth it.”
She's fantastic. Such powerful words.
Inspired me to look back on my past relationship with more forgiveness for myself.
