Audience Q&A: Brené Brown, Ph.D.

[@debstein8685]

I want to manifest people in my life that are like brene brown. One of the most authentic, intelligent, funny and big-hearted humans ever!

[@darkfeather6857]

That first woman's question resonated with me. When I became an adult I set boundaries for my mother and told her it wasn't okay for her to talk to me however she pleased just because she was my mother. She was outraged and after a bit of conflict, we didn't speak for three years. Finally, she apologized and we've been able to forge a better relationship since then, but I set boundaries with everyone and sometimes that means losing the relationship but I keep my self-respect.

[@angelokalomiris3059]

Rapture folds I can relate to this, setting boundaries with a parent is very challenging, many awkward momonts, but it allowed me the chance to breathe again.

[@darkfeather6857]

@@angelokalomiris3059 It's interesting, I came from a very dysfunctional home with both abuse and neglect and I was always jealous of my best friend whose parents were so loving and supportive and involved. I spent more time at his house than mine. I told him how freeing it was to finally stand up to my parents and tell them what was in my heart and he said he wished he had my guts. There were things he wanted to tell his parents but he would never have the courage. I guess the grass isn't always greener on the other side.

[@Africa-ky1bg]

It amazes me that sometimes family members feel it is ok to treat a stranger kinder than a member of the family. Healthy boundaries are so important. Definately set them and hold your ground to honor yourself when others are not. Using the " it's not ok to .." & "it works when..." are really good to create a workable cooperative situation to establish new and healthier boundaries. .

Jennifer Duncan . Feeling sadness is not fun but healing.

[@peggydwyer1932]

@@carennawillmont3706 Grief is seldom just sadness, but is often a wild maelstrom of despair, rage, depression, numbness and dissociation....and sometimes sadness. Sometimes some shame in there too, which complicates things. Still grieving my dead son, twelve years on.

[@thehorsebackheroine5950]

@@peggydwyer1932 I'm so sorry you lost your son and I'm quite sure your grief will be with you for a long time. Lean into it and really feel it. I do hope you heal eventually 🙏

Brene, I have been learning much from you so I need to thank you. You are an awesome lady.

[@ethandenton3393]

I love how authentic and loving she is.

[@AmyBotelho]

The answer to this woman's question is: "When you stop people pleasing, people stop being pleased...AND THAT'S OK."

[@mrswhite645]

"It is not the responsibility of the people being targeted to set the table." Thank you so much Brene.

[@matthewwile3013]

Brene is amazing. So very thankful for her thoughtful, intelligent work. The truths she has uncovered in her research is changing my life, and as a married mom of three, transforming four additional lives as well! So excited about the curriculum she is talking about! I want to get this to my kids! - Jen Wile, York, PA

[@lenavoyles526]

You can maintain strong boundaries AND feel empathy for the person on the other side of the boundary you have set. Brene herself has said very wisely, “The most compassionate people I know are the most boundaried.” By the same token, a true boundary will not be threatened by the act of offering empathy to another.

[@micaela5461]

Love the part about forgiveness. What we judge in ourselves, we judge in others.

How does this have 0 comments? Wow. Brene is awesome! She has such a wealth of information. WIsh I had been there live. THANK YOU FOR POSTING THIS!!

[@rebeccapayne5933]

Such important questions!! Such important responses!!!

[@samanthamiller7267]

Amazing.

[@bumblebee7982]

Generally if people have a lot of boundaries, I just steer clear. I believe this comes from my youth & a parent who was so emotionally ill & had such over the top, scarry reactions when accidentally triggered. But at least I understand where this comes from now. 💙❤️💚☺️

[@rafaelc.5705]

The most important sentence from the whole program is: "teachers are not among the, but are the most important leaders in the world"

[@raewynurwin4256]

Rafael C, agree, however more importantly teachers need to fly this flag individually and collectively and parents will be right beside you.

[@rafaelc.5705]

​@@raewynurwin4256 I wish parents would really stand beside us but unfortunately I know many that won't

[@carennawillmont3706]

I love this. I am working to instill this into companies through CFO work when I collaborate with CEO’s. Very inspiring to act with heart and head! 💗

[@marie-roselaurette4956]

Loved this, so much clarity!

[@yeshonestly4268]

The answer to the first question, in my opinion is: Nip the evil in the bud. This means, if someone insults you the first time stop them the first time, not the second or third...... but the very FIRST time. The extra benefit is the immense peace of mind and no getting upset later. You are forming a habit pattern in them that will become just that a habit.😎

[@pastephinetaylor5615]

Forgiveness and grief

[@ecampbell5837]

Wow, I struggle with forgiveness. I am really going to think about what she said here.

[@craig71pizza]

This woman knows. LISTEN up!

[@aggiesoldier]

So funny when she said that she has a bachelors from UT Austin, a few people "whoop"......which is a Texas A&M tradition. But i digress.

[@mintganadora3207]

I found the Host was rude to the woman who asked the great boundary question, that made me uncomfortable./Enjoy much of Brene wisdom so I'll back and block out the host I guess.

She corrected him about the difference between television and streaming so kindly; she really could have shamed him. And he kinda earned some shame after he made that face.
