"In a world where scarcity and shame dominate and feeling afraid has become second nature, vulnerability is subversive. Uncomfortable. It's even a little dangerous at times."

This book was encouraging and eye-opening. I appreciated all of the research and connections Brene made and the many examples of what vulnerability can look like in relationships, at work, in parenting. I'm taking away some helpful thoughts about leadership and how I lead volunteers and staff I work with. Also taking away some helpful thoughts about discomfort and how growth comes through discomfort. I don't have to numb it away with the "shadow comforts" but I can lean in and stretch and grow through the discomfort.
