“The word ‘courage’ comes from the Latin word ‘cor,’ which means heart. The middle English usage of “courage” included the capacity “to speak one’s mind by telling all one’s heart.” - Dr. Annie Rogers via Dr. Brene Brown
“Shame breeds three things; fear, blame, and disconnection. So how do we practice courage in a culture of fear, in a culture where belonging and fitting in and being accepted are so critically important? How do I tell you my stories about the imperfect moments in my life, about the time when I was just not the mom that I wanted to be, about the time when I really screwed up at work and I lost the client? Telling our story is the only way that we get out from underneath shame.” - Dr Brene Brown
