Vulnerability: The Birthplace of Courage, Authenticity, and Belonging

In our culture, we often associate vulnerability with emotions we want to avoid, such as fear, shame, and uncertainty. However, as Dr. Brené Brown teaches, vulnerability is also the birthplace of joy, belonging, creativity, authenticity, and love. On her audio course "The Power of Vulnerability," Dr. Brown offers an invitation and a promise: when we dare to drop the armor that protects us from feeling vulnerable, we open ourselves to the experiences that bring purpose and meaning to our lives.

"The Power of Vulnerability is a very personal project for me," Brené explains. "This is the first place that all of my work comes together. This audio course draws from all three of my books - it's the culmination of everything I've learned over the past twelve years. I'm very excited to weave it all into a truly comprehensive form that shows what these findings and insights can mean in our lives."

Over the past twelve years, Dr. Brené Brown has interviewed hundreds of people as part of an ongoing study of vulnerability. Her research reveals that we often try to ward off disappointment with a shield of cynicism, disarm shame by numbing ourselves against joy, and circumvent grief by shutting off our willingness to love. When we become aware of these patterns, we begin to realize how much we sacrifice in the name of self-defense, and how much richer our lives become when we open ourselves to vulnerability.

"In my research," Dr. Brown says, "the word I use to describe people who can live from a place of vulnerability is wholehearted." Being wholehearted is a practice - one that we can choose to cultivate through empathy, gratitude, and awareness of our vulnerability armor. Dr. Brown offers profound insights on leaning into the full spectrum of emotions, so we can show up, let ourselves be seen, and truly be all in.
