    One of my favorite quotes:
    "There are songs we need to hear; there are stories that need to be heard; there is work that needs to be seen; there are ideas that need to be implemented.”-Brene

    I love the way Jonathan interviews. His questions and conversational exchanges are intelligent and pertinent and he allows the interviewee space and time to respond. He knows where the focus should be. BIG FAN OF BRENE BROWN BTW.

    I am about to turn 46 (like you both!) I have just begun to enter my creativity and vulnerability. I am so grateful to have found Brene at this time in my life, It makes me go out, do the hard stuff, not beat myself up (as much) but even more - to do it again! Thank you

    This is my first time listening to either one of you. What a wonderful exchange! I'm one who definitely lived my life from the bleachers. But now that I'm retired, and no longer "beholding" to anyone, I want to open those doors in my psyche that have remained closed and unexplored. In the final chapter of life, you look back and ask yourself "What can I take with me when my expiration date arrives? - What will survive the transition to the next dimension?" It has to be your vibration, like a tuning fork, that hums to sum total of your life's experience. So as a supremely risk-averse person, you've given me the courage and inspiration to step into the arena, and adopt the mission of making the 3rdAct of Life better for enyone who wants to find personal growth, fulfillment and gratitude for the gift that was bestowed on us.

    I fell in love with Brene after watching her TED talk and watching this makes me love her even more! Thank you Brene for pushing back against your peers to make your work accessible to the average person and for having the courage to put your work out there. America is drowning in its obsession with perfection, having more/better 'stuff' than our neighbors and only discussing polite topics. I think your work is essential to America growing up and becoming a better, happier society.

    Criticism can make us weak or strong. The difference is in how we handle our mind. To the clear mind all criticism points us to the truth. Unfair and mean-spirited put-downs can inspire us and show us clearly how not to be. What hurts is the part in us that has yet to grow, and these voices help us to find it. They ARE the arena. We can love it all. That is Self-love; nothing is excluded.

    You are both inspirational. I live on the sidelines, I live in fear. I am a spectator. I've tried for so many years to learn self-compassion, self-love, to let go of expectations, to just live in the moment and stop judging, stop criticizing, stop complaining and slowly work my way to gratitude, opening my heart to invest in relationships as you say "wholeheartedly". It's scary, it's the great unknown, it's the greatest pain when I fail, but it's also the greatest source of joy when it works.
    So seeing you speak of being vulnerable and trying and knowing that failure is a possibility is inspirational. I'm not putting you on a pedestal, you're human and imperfect, but you've accepted that. I need to accept that, and let go of expectations.
    Thank you so much for putting your work out there, for daring, for risking because it benefits so many of us.
    So I will add you and this interview to my daily gratitude practice, one more blessing in my life.
    Namaste

    Wow I see myself so much in what she said at 34:00. About when other people take chances to live a vulnerable life and then you want to see them fail because it's uncomfortable for you. Such a wakeup call. I want to start living a more courageous and vulnerable life!

    Thank you Brene for all your work. I just bought your book Braving the Wilderness, and so much and it resonates with me and it's stuff that I believe and wanted to write about years and years and years ago, I'm 54 now but I didn't because nobody was doing it. LOL. And you are somebody who's helping me get out of my slump of being frozen. My husband died 4 years ago, I have a chronic autoimmune disorder, and I just got put on long-term disability at work, because they weren't willing to accommodate me. And I just feel like a complete loser failure. I'm working on selling my home because I don't want to live here anymore I haven't for a while but I tried to make it be something I wanted when it really wasn't cuz, I should again, LOL. I don't know why I just wrote all that I had a point, but I forgot it. Just thank you for all you do you're a very helpful.

    I've been on the fence about whether or not I want to go for my Ph.D. There has always been this thing about journals and articles being locked away for some 'elite' group that doesn't bode well for me. The more I read these journals, the more I see the same mundane, unmoving data written over and over and over again. Brene summed up my thoughts in such a way (10:07-12:15) that I'm very clear I will not be pursuing my Ph.D. I am the seeker of knowledge on my own terms and I have the ability to share my research with anyone, anytime. Thank you, internet. Thank you, Brene!

Mornings can be tricky for me too - it is so affirming that you remind me of what is good, and why I'm doing it. I'm also gathering my tribe around me, for support and to keep me true. Thank you.

    What he says about entrepreneurship is so profound. Game changer for me. This is one of the best interviews/conversations Ive seen with Brene thus far. Thanks!

    I LOVE you guys.....looking forward to more interviews of you both together. Brene, I've just been introduced to you through a past Oprah show on Satellite Radio, and I am in love with your mind & your vulnerability. I will be following you regularly. You are a perfect reminder of who I want to continue to be, you are an inspiration for me to know more, and you are a blessing for us whole-hearted people. Thank you & love your spirit
