Brené Brown reveals that the opposite of belonging is actually fitting in, and why that distinction matters more than you think.
She opens up about still feeling lonely despite speaking to thousands, and explains how belonging to yourself is both the hardest and most essential work you'll ever do.
You'll learn why every act of courage requires vulnerability, why shame thrives in silence, and how speaking your truth deflates its power. This isn't about becoming fearless, it's about choosing courage over comfort even when your voice shakes, and finally writing the ending to your own story instead of letting it write you.
