Aha—guess what? I’ve read another book and now y’all have to hear about it. 😅 This time it’s Daring Greatly by Brené Brown, and honestly, I couldn’t put it down. If you know me, you know I love anything that dives into the messy, real parts of life—the places we usually try to avoid. And this book? It’s all about vulnerability, courage, and the shame we try so hard not to feel.
I used to think vulnerability meant weakness. Like if I let my guard down, I’d be opening myself up to being hurt. But Brené reminds us that vulnerability is actually the birthplace of courage, love, and connection. When we dare to show up—messy, imperfect, fully human—we create space for others to do the same. That’s where the real magic happens: in the brave conversations, in the quiet moments of honesty, in the choice to love anyway.
✨ Life is sweet when we stop chasing perfect and start living brave.
So here are 7 lessons to live braver (straight from Daring Greatly):
1.Vulnerability = courage
2. Shame can’t survive empathy.
3. You are already enough.
4. Let go of perfection, choose growth.
5. Boundaries build real connection.
6. Courage always requires risk.
7. Empathy heals. Always.
Reading this book felt like a reminder that none of us have it all figured out—and that’s okay. The real power is in daring to show up anyway.
