Brene Brown Quotes
"The opposite of belonging is fitting in.""We don't have to do all of it alone. We were never meant to.""True belonging is not passive. It’s not the belonging that comes with just joining a group.

We must reclaim the truth about our lovability, divinity, and creativity.""People may call what happens at midlife a 'crisis,' but it’s not.

When we own our stories, we get to write a brave new ending""Connection is why we're here; it is what gives purpose and meaning to our lives""You are imperfect, you are wired for struggle, but you are worthy of love and belonging""Authenticity is the daily practice of letting go of who we think we're supposed to be and embracing who we are""What we know matters but who we are matters more""Imperfections are not inadequacies; they are reminders that we're all in this together"
