51 分钟The greatest pain I've ever seen in my work is from people who have spent their lives on the outside of the arena wondering what would have happened had I shown up.
This week's episode is a replay of a powerful conversation that I had with famed author and grounded theory researcher Brene Brown.
So Brene and I met a few years back while we were both speaking at a conference together and we pretty much clicked immediately and I asked her to come share a bit of her journey with our community.
The conversation that folded really just blew my mind.
I'm Jonathan Fields.
This is his good life project.
Brene Browns fascination with what she calls wholehearted living eventually led her to explore how we dance with shame and vulnerability.
She wrote about it in her blockbuster book Daring greatly and I asked her to join me on Good Life project in October 20 twelve the conversation that unfolded moved us both to tears at various points.
Bernay was just so beautifully real and raw and candid and wise.
We also talked about gratitude and the power of honoring the smallest moments and that's when things got emotional.
That's also what led me to decide to reshare her gorgeous spirit and words with you during this week of thanks and gratitude.
Enjoy the conversation.
I want to go through a whole bunch of different things with you and I want to get into the current sort of like topic that you're exploring.
But one of my fascinations with you is you.
I have many fascinations is you present.
So like when I first saw your Ted talks, I was blown away, as were millions and billions of people.
You present as this radiant, wise, snarky, funny presence.
And I'm always curious when I see that somebody, somebody who's so strong and so powerful and so full of life, is this something that you sort of like stepped into later in life or were you the kid who sort of manifested this also?
No, I was not a definitely, I was not the kid.
You know, I'm a shame and vulnerability researcher.
