“Our job is to look and say ‘You know what? You’re imperfect and you’re wired for struggle, but you are worthy of love and belonging.'” – Brene Brown
I’ve watched this video several times over the last year, and every time I see it, I learn something new. Brene Brown is a researcher at the University of Houston Graduate School of Social Work, and her work focuses on empathy, vulnerability and shame. In this video, she recounts her experiences researching human connection. The resulting TEDX talk is funny, warming and touchingly human.
If you’ve ever wondered about courage and vulnerability, and how these things fit in to our world, our lives, and our relationships, take 20 minutes out of your day (go on, it’s Friday) and have a watch.
