vulnerability pep talks
When I’m in a position where I’m going to be vulnerable or am feeling a vulnerability hangover I turn to the Queen of vulnerability: Brene Brown. I’m obsessed with her. Freshman year of college requires tons of vulnerability (which can be super uncomfortable), but it’s so important in order to find that authentic connection and belonging we ALL desire. I’m sharing loads of Brene content not only because she’s brings me peace when I’m putting myself out there.
The OG Brene Brown Ted Talk that made her famous. It has over 11 million views and is always a go-to for me. Also, did I mention that Brene Brown is FUNNY!
Speaking of Brene Brown being funny, her Netflix talk almost reads as a comedy special because it’s so funny and relatable. It also has a game changing statement that totally shifted how I approach hard conversations in my interpersonal relationships.
A conversation with Gwyneth Paltrow on leadership and vulnerability!
Actor Dax Shepard chats with Brene Brown. It’s fun to have a male perspective on vulnerability. It’s a universal concept!!
Brene even has her own podcast as well!

Matchmaking for Beginners by Maddie Dawson
This book is so sweet. It’s a romance set in Brooklyn with a little magic sprinkled in… like Marnie can see gold sparkles when couples are a good match. There’s also a sequel called: A Happy Catastrophe: A Novel, which I liked as well. It was fun to jump back into this world.
