Episode notes
Vulnerability Is The Heart Of Courage
- Vulnerability and courage are inseparable because courage requires uncertainty, risk, and emotional exposure.
- Brené Brown found wholeheartedness arises from willingness to be vulnerable, not intellectual mastery of shame.

- Brené Brown studied shame after a therapist told her, "You cannot shame or belittle people into changing their behaviors."
- That insight launched her multi-year research into shame and led her to study wholeheartedness.

- Stay curious and remove your armor so you can get it right rather than defend being right.
