Legends | Brené Brown on Vulnerability, Critics and Stepping into the Arena

About this episode

The critics will always be there. Brené Brown's answer is not to shut them out or armour up — it is to reserve them a seat. Fear, self-doubt, and shame are inevitable companions in any arena worth entering. What determines how you show up is not their absence but your relationship with vulnerability. The most important critic to address is not outside you. It has always been the voice within.
