Daring Greatly - a book to relate to

[_MrsC]

Hi Ladies, I’m currently reading a book about vulnerability which is incredibly interesting. I originally started to read it for work (am a teacher) but by golly can I relate to so many of the things Brene Brown talks about. It’s a really easy read and covers things like shame. She mentions infertility at times but it really is making me think about the emotions I have felt during my battle with infertility. She did a TED talk if you wanted to look at that online too. I did before I bought the book. Anyway, thought I’d share. Love to you all. xxx

Thanks for this MrsC. I’ve come across Brene Brown myself and found this YouTube cartoon clip about empathy exactly explained why I found some people supportive while others seemed to be but weren’t youtu.be/1Evwgu369Jw(Not working as expected?)

I love this little video -I actually posted it on Facebook as a hint to some of my less supportive friends. Until watching it myself, I couldn’t understand why comments from some people made me feel so bad, like ‘at least you can do ivf’, ‘if first cycle doesn’t work you can always have another, why are you so worried?’ or ‘you can always adopt’. It’s like, yeah, great, but is it not just ok for me to be sad that I’m not pregnant after all these years when everyone else seems to be?!! Xx

Thanks for this! I’ve not seen this. It’s so good! I wish I’d shown my ex best friend this. So simple but so true! x

[7AVA in reply to _MrsC]

Glad you like it MrsC and sorry to hear that you’ve lost close friends during this process too. Xx

[_MrsC in reply to 7AVA]

Thanks. Yeah it was a shame but I guess I learned that friendship is a two way street. x

[Novice_knitter]

Thanks for sharing! Will get this book, interested in hearing more x

[Novice_knitter]

Also, didn’t realise she’d done a TED talk, will check it out xx

[_MrsC in reply to Novice_knitter]

In her book she talks about her ted talk too. It’s quite interesting having seen it to read about how she felt about doing it. x

Slow to the party here but oh my gosh I have recently discovered BB and he wisdom has actually been a lifesaver for me. Such a revelation! I first read the gifts of imperfection and am trying to incorporate the wholehearted living concepts into my life where possible. The read Dare to Lead and was equally impressed - keep trying to pass it round my team at work as I think they could learn a lot from it haha!
