Today’s book: Braving the Wilderness by Brené Brown—a powerful call to find true belonging by embracing your authenticity and standing strong—even when you feel alone.
Here’s your 1-minute summary:
- True belonging starts with self-acceptance. You can’t belong anywhere if you abandon yourself to fit in.
- Braving the wilderness means standing alone. Sometimes choosing integrity means walking away from the crowd.
- People are hard to hate close up. Move in. Real connection requires empathy, even when we fiercely disagree.
- Speak truth to bullshit—but be civil. Courageous conversations require honesty and kindness, not cruelty.
- Strong back, soft front, wild heart. Be firm in your values, open in your compassion, and bold in your dreams.
Belonging isn’t about fitting in, it’s about showing up as your full, imperfect, courageous self. Where will you brave the wilderness today?
