We Can Do Hard Things

48. DR. BRENÉ BROWN: How to Know Ourselves & Be Known by Our People



1. Why Brené’s new book ATLAS OF THE HEART is a game changer for communicating hard emotions more easily. 

2. Brené breaks down the difference between stressed and overwhelmed—and gives us tools to navigate both.

3. How our survival strategies from our families of origin can become both our superpowers and our stumbling blocks in our relationships and wellness.  

4. How we can make sure our kids experience deep, steady belonging—even if they don’t feel like they “belong” out in the world.  

5. The one question that Brené now asks herself whenever she’s considering a decision—and how it’s changed everything.
