My guest on this special rewind episode of The School of Greatness has carved out a very prominent place for herself in the world of emotional well-being.Who is Dr. Brené Brown? Dr. Brené Brown studies shame.  Often, when she’s on a plane and isn’t in the mood for talking, this one-liner will easily shut down an unwanted conversation (or even a wanted one). Typically, we don’t like to talk about shame or anything that can make us feel vulnerable. But Dr. Brown isn’t afraid to talk about shame, vulnerability, and loneliness, because sadly, it is at the heart of humanity today. These are feelings that we all feel at some point in our lives.We don’t like to talk about vulnerability, mostly because it makes us feel “weak” or “powerless.” We feel like if we admit our fragility, we will be broken in two by the opinions of others and even ourselves. The reluctance to discuss shame has attached a stigma to a very common emotion that we all experience. We discuss that, and more on today’s episode.In this episode you will learn,What belonging truly means.What makes people complex.What every parent needs to know about when their kids grow up.Why parents are so defensive about their parenting style.How to support men in being willing to discuss vulnerable topics.For more information go to www.lewishowes.com/1518For more Greatness text PODCAST to +1 (614) 350-3960More SOG episodes on Radical Self Love & Acceptance:Jason Derulo – https://link.chtbl.com/1460-podKaramo Brown – https://link.chtbl.com/1457-podPokimane – https://link.chtbl.com/1443-pod Get more from Lewis!
