TED Talk: Listening to Shame

This video really relates to what I have gone through this year. I believe that Brene Brown is a Christ-follower but it is so crazy how receptive people are to vulnerability and in all honesty, I think this is one of the things that our society hungers for but do not really realize it. I really liked how My courage and vulnerability came from the Lord though and was not of my own doing.
"If you put shame in a petri dish, it needs three things to grow exponentially: secrecy, silence and judgment. If you put the shame amount of shame in a petri dish and dowse it with empathy, it can't survive. The two most powerful words when we're in struggle: "me too"."
