How to Share the Most Intimate Details of Your Life

Author and speaker Brené Brown has a helpful acronym that we can use when cultivating our own capacity to be trustworthy in relationships. BRAVING stands for Boundaries, Reliability, Accountability, Vault, Integrity, Non-Judgment, and Generosity. In an intimate conversation, this can include staying aware of signs from your mind and body that tell you to keep something private. If someone seems dismissive or distant, they may be going through something difficult that you don't know about.
