- Brené Brown & Barrett Guillen on Sisterhood & Digging Deep
1. Brené and Barrett share their parenting strategy that Brené calls “the opposite of raising a child that’s full of shame.” 2. The family of origin roles that Brené (the Protector) and Barrett (the Peacekeeper) had to adjust in order to work together – and the two keys to working well with family. 3. The ways in which a child who grows up living on eggshells becomes an adult who is fearful – and how that fear shows up differently for Brené, Barrett, Glennon, and Amanda. 4. The hilarious moment when each sister confesses a secret that they fear the other believes about them–and we find out whether or not it’s true. 5. How Brené and Barrett are walking through the grief of their mother’s sudden decline, and how they circle back when the stress of that grief makes them shitty to each other. About Brené: Dr. Brené Brown is a research professor at the University of Houston where she holds the Huffington Foundation Endowed Chair at The Graduate College of Social Work.She has spent the past two decades studying courage, vulnerability, shame, and empathy, is the author of six #1 New York Times bestsellers, and is the host of the weekly podcasts Unlocking Us and Dare to Lead .

- The Two Halves of Life With Brené Brown
Welcome to the first episode of Everything Belongs, a new season covering the work of Richard Rohr’s newly revised version of Falling Upward . In this episode, we're joined by Brenè Brown to kick off our chapter-by-chapter exploration, starting with Chapter 1: "The Two Halves of Life." Together, with Richard Rohr and CAC Staff, they explore the concept of the two halves of life and how Brené has navigated these teachings from the context of her own lived experience, both personally and professionally. We also talk about the brand-new foreword, which Brené wrote for the new edition of Falling Upward. But first, we begin the episode at Richard's hermitage to hear his reflections on the first chapter a decade after he originally wrote it. Brené is a research professor at the University of Houston where she holds the Huffington Foundation Endowed Chair at the Graduate College of Social Work. She also holds the position of Visiting Professor and management at the University of Texas at Austin McCombs School of Business. Brené has spent the past few decades studying courage, vulnerability, shame, and empathy. She’s the author of six number one New York Times bestsellers, and is the host of two award-winning podcasts, Unlocking Us and Dare to Lead. She lives in Houston, Texas with her husband, Steve. They have two children, Ellen and Charlie, and a weird Bichon named Lucy. Resources: A PDF of the transcript for this episode is available here .

- Rare Friends Forever - Hanging Out and Showing Some Love to Brene Brown with Katie Lloyd and Adam Johnson
ONCE UPON A GENE - EPISODE 151 Rare Friends Forever - Hanging Out and Showing Some Love to Brene Brown with Katie Lloyd and Adam Johnson Adam "Dadvocate" Johnson and Katie Lloyd are on the podcast, joining me for a lighthearted chat about Brené Brown, a research professor who has spent the past two decades studying courage, vulnerability, shame, and empathy. EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS Adam, what are some of your favorite quotes and why? One that stands out in terms of transitioning into the rare disease space is from Daring Greatly and says, "What we know matters, but who we are matters more." This was impactful to me because when rare disease happened and I was losing my career, transitioning into survival mode, I had to find myself again and remember that who I was mattered more. Katie, can you share a quote that has impacted you? It's very scary to be vulnerable and it reminds me of the quote, "Tell the story of who you are with your whole heart." Last time I was on the podcast, I shared vulnerable thoughts and feelings and later worried about who would hear them. This quote reminds me that it's important to open up and share and that it helps others feel they're not alone. Brene talks a lot about shame and says, "Shame is the fear of disconnection." When we are vulnerable, especially talking about rare disease, we connect and we feel more open and less ashamed.

- Obsessed With Worthiness Inspired by Brene Brown
🦋You are worthy. It is your birthright to accept abundance in your life. Your Obsessed Girls at #obsessedpodcast are inspired daily by Brene Brown's works. This episode is inspired by Brene Brown and her new book, Atlas Of The Heart. We often get tripped up in trying to be perfect or imposter syndrome because we are trying to project a life that deserves worthiness. Coach Julie Lokun speaks today about worthiness and what she coins, "The Brene Brown Effect". Here is some insight: It is time to understand that you belong right here. You belong at the crossroads of imperfection and exposure. When we try new things and nudge ourselves into the space of "uncomfortable" we have the option of recoiling from the situation or, we have the option to jump right in. When we jump in we are given the opportunity to embrace this beautiful mess. WARNING : T his beautiful mess is an inevitable by-product of being human. Beware as it has side effects. The side effects can lead to empowering lessons and deep human connections. When holding tight to perfectionism we miss the gift of the human experience. When we are doing things over and over, we find comfort in what is familiar. However, this familiarity keeps us stuck. Think about this: Familiarity Breeds Stagnancy. “Vulnerability is the birthplace of love, belonging, joy, courage, empathy, and creativity. It is the source of hope empathy, accountability, and authenticity.” - Brene Brown The Brene Brown Effect is not unlike the butterfly effect theory. The butterfly effect theory states that when a butterfly moves its wings, it can cause a cyclone in another part of the world. It has become, in modern times, a metaphor for the existence of seemingly insignificant moments that alter history and the shape of destiny. Brene Brown's teachings suggest that when we are at one with ourselves we become open to living wholeheartedly. When we embrace our birthright of being worthy of all good things, we then gain the courage to demand it in our lives. Obsessors! We want to hear from you!

- TLS #124: How to Compassionately Set Boundaries in Relationships with Brené Brown
It’s Brené Brown Day on The Lively Show! I’ve been dreaming about this interview since I started this show… and it has finally come to pass — at the same time that TLS turns two years old (TLS’s 2nd birthday was February 6th)! In this episode, Brené and I discuss Rising Strong , why compassionate people are most capable of upholding personal boundaries in relationships, and how we can initiate difficult conversations about boundaries in our own lives. This episode is perfect for anyone who is facing emotionally tough stuff, who wants to understand how to lovingly set boundaries with loved ones, or anyone who is a fan of Brené and her work. IN THIS EPISODE YOU’LL FIND OUT ABOUT Brené tells us about how Rising Strong became the focal point of her current research. She figured out that she needed to write a story about getting back up after falling down. Brené talks about how helpful it is to be honest about what you are in now and what you’ve been through. She reviews the physics of vulnerability and how it relates to Rising Strong . Brené discusses how many of those who were able to rise strong recognized emotion, understood being hooked by emotion, getting curious about emotion and rumbled with emotion. She tells us how our brains are “wired” for a story and has the needs the story to understand pain in our lives. Brené discusses her personal practice with the struggles of tough conversations and overcoming them. She tells us about what the term “emotional high centering” is and why its one reason we deny our feelings to ourselves. Brené tells us what a boundary is and what it means to our feelings, especially our compassion. She describes how living big is about boundaries, integrity, and generosity in our lives.
