The Power of Vulnerability
Brené Brown emphasizes that vulnerability is not a weakness but a strength that leads to deeper connections and personal growth. She shares her own experience of feeling exposed after her TEDxHouston talk, which later became one of the most viewed talks on TED.com. Brown explains that vulnerability is the birthplace of love, belonging, joy, courage, empathy, and creativity. She states, 'Vulnerability is the core of all emotions and feelings. To feel is to be vulnerable.' This idea is illustrated through her journey of embracing vulnerability, which led to significant professional and personal breakthroughs.
