    Vulnerability & Courage

    This month we explore VuLneRaBiLiTy and who better to talk about that than Brené Brown! If you don’t know Brené, she is a renowned researcher at the University of Houston who has spent 20+ years studying vulnerability, courage, worthiness, and shame. She’s written 7 New York Times Bestsellers and even has her own Netflix special! (Which we highly recommend). We will be exploring her findings and research in these areas, how they impact our everyday lives and how we can harness vulnerability and courage to bring us closer together. We share our stories of vulnerability, what it means to have courage, and why they're necessary to bring JOY into our lives.
