Let Go of Who You Think You Should Be

This is a website that I hope every woman spends some time in. Brene Brown has a gift for talking about the big stuff that women experience. You know...the big, hairy audacious stuff that most of us don't easily talk about? I find that Brene lightens it, and gives me room to laugh about it while I'm processing what she's saying. I love watching her TED talks, I always come away feeling normal. (in a good way!)

If my description has intrigued you, then the titles of her books might also;

  • The Gifts of Imperfection: Letting Go of Who We Think We Should Be and Embracing Who We Are
  • I Thought It Was Just Me (but it isn't): Telling the Truth About Perfectionism, Inadequacy, and Power

Here's an excerpt from her website that will give you more of a sense of what she contributes - "How do we learn to embrace our vulnerabilities and imperfections so that we can engage in our lives from a place of authenticity and worthiness? How do we cultivate the courage, compassion, and connection that we need to recognize that we are enough - that we are worthy of love, belonging and joy?"

From my heart to yours, enjoy!
