We are MASSIVE fans and at Grow Your Mind we live by two of her mantras; ‘Clear is kind’ and ‘Stay awkward, brave and kind’. Dr Brené Brown has transformed how the world and workplace think about vulnerability, courage, shame and empathy, and her work inspired earlier episodes when spotlighting the dance between fear and courage.
