Brené Brown: Vulnerability, Shame + Daring Greatly

While you may believe successful people don’t have difficult situations this show is here to set you straight. Because we all have stumbled, lost our way, or only saw closed doors. In this podcast you will find out that this stumbling, falling down and getting your but kicked is actually the true pathway to success when you are willing to be vulnerable and rise back up in your life. Instead of accepting your life “as good as it gets” you can find out here how others have created great lives so you can too.

Today I am bringing back 3rd of the three interviews I have done with Brené Brown to get you ready for her upcoming book Rising Strong which comes out August 25th, 2015. In this podcast I am sharing with you my interview with Brené and our discussion about vulnerability, shame, the arena, comfort and what Daring Greatly really means

Thanks for listening.
