Brené Brown — The Courage to Be Vulnerable (Dec 5, 2013) by On Being Studios published on 2013-12-08T16:58:12Z Courage is borne out of vulnerability, not strength. This finding of Brené Brown’s research on shame and "wholeheartedness" shook the perfectionist ground beneath her own feet. And now it’s inspiring millions to reconsider the way they live, parent, and navigate relations with members of the opposite gender.

The thing is I had this ideal in the beginning that if I didn't get mad and just explain why kids behaviour is not acceptable and could they please think about it without the awful concept of punishment. unless they did it deliberately then there was consequences of their own choosing. but as they got older it was quicker and easier to make them feel bad and then punish. aaghh where did I go wrong. But happy to report there is space for conversation. they say mum u make us feel guilty!!... and vulnerability exists and is discussed. Love how this has brought to light some concepts I felt very alone about in letting my kids work thru struggles and vulnerability with my guidance and unwavering support and love. But the story of the man in the yellow golf jacket floored me. It's so true. my husband only grew when he felt safe to hit the floor with his shame. I too struggled to see him like that but wasn't that what I was asking of him.???? wow wow. Love this. Thanks Brenna and Krista. 2013-12-18T21:50:39Z Comment by Louëlla-la-Poète Phenomenal.
