The Daring Way™, Rising Strong™, & Connections curriculum are written by Dr. Brene Brown and focus on: Courage, Shame, Vulnerability, and Empathy

Show Up, Be Seen, Live Brave

Dr. Brene Brown started out as a Social Work educator and researcher studying what creates and maintains healthy connection to self and others. What she found in her research is that people with high levels of connection had learned to recognize how shame operated in their lives and could move through the feelings of shame without disconnection. She called these practices “shame Resilience”

She defines shame as the “intensely painful feeling or experience that we are flawed and therefore not worthy of love and belonging”. Her research showed that shame underpins many of our biggest challenges and drives much of our unhealthy coping behaviors. In these classes you will explore what it means to live “wholeheartedly” with shame resilience.

The workshop can help you:

  • Connections: Understand how shame operates in your life, the ways it drives disconnection and the behaviors you use to defend yourself against those painful feelings

  • Learn and practice “Shame Resilience” - the ability to reach out, speak your truth and build connection

  • The Daring Way: Show up, be seen, and live brave in all areas of your life

  • Rising Strong: Learn how to regain your footing in the midst of struggle.
