Brené Brown is just friggen awesome. Every single time I watch this video on shame, I get chills. There is just no substitute for brilliance like this. “Shame drives two big tapes: “Never good enough”; and if you can talk it out of that one, “Who do you think you are?” – Brené Brown Shame is, [...]
