A toolkit for navigating your fears, finding your “core,” and having sovereignty over your nervous system.

Brené Brown is a research professor at the University of Houston, where she holds the Huffington Foundation Endowed Chair at the Graduate College of Social Work. She is the author of six #1 New York Times bestsellers and the host of two award-winning podcasts.

How to achieve sovereignty over your nervous system
Brené’s "above the line" / "below the line" practice
How language acts as an indicator light for our emotions
The role of our values and how to operationalize them
