Summary
Brene Brown (http://brenebrown.com/) and I met a few years back while speaking at an event. We clicked immediately, grabbed lunch and laughed a lot. I asked her to come and share a bit of her journey with our Good Life Project community. The conversation that unfolded left me changed.
Brown’s fascination with what she calls wholehearted living eventually led her to explore how we dance with shame and vulnerability, and how we navigate criticism, and awaken to our own power and potential. How we become brave, awake and alive. She's since written numerous books, including, Daring Greatly (http://brenebrown.com/books/), Rising Strong (https://amzn.to/2vvqvnE) and Braving the Wilderness (https://amzn.to/2M2YWfQ).
I asked her to join me on Good Life Project in October 2012 and the conversation that unfolded moved us both to tears at various points. Brene was so beautifully real, raw, candid and wise. Every part of that conversation is as relevant today, maybe more so given the current climate, than it was the day we talked.
We first aired this as a video conversation in October 2012. Click here to watch the video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=1&v=Sd3DYvBGyFs). I'm so excited to share this "Best Of" episode with you today.

| 0:00.0 | Burnay Brown and I first met maybe eightish years ago when we were speaking at the same conference |
| 0:07.8 | and then we kind of clicked immediately and then upgravened a bite together. |
| 0:11.7 | And we've been sort of like weaving it in and out and following each other and chatting |
| 0:16.2 | here and there. |
| 0:17.2 | I bet everything from life to obsessive desires to listen to rush music. |
| 0:22.7 | And a couple years back we sat down, or I sat down with Burnay and we had this really |
| 0:26.4 | deep conversation about shame, vulnerability, uncertainty, finding your voice standing |
| 0:32.1 | up. |
| 0:33.4 | And what happens when you do that and how to let your bigger, deeper truths out, that conversation |
| 0:39.2 | has only become more important, more relevant over the years. |
| 0:43.6 | And as we do generally every year, these last couple of weeks of August, we'd like to |
| 0:48.8 | bring back conversations, some of the most provocative, most thought provoking conversations |
| 0:55.1 | that we've had over the years. |
| 0:56.8 | And this conversation with Burnay was certainly one of them, certainly something that is timeless |
| 1:02.0 | and as time-sensitive as an important now as it was the day we first recorded it, if |
| 1:08.3 | not more so. |
| 1:09.5 | We thought this would be a great time to revisit that. |
| 1:11.5 | So I'm going to leave you with this conversation with Burnay Brown. |
| 1:17.2 | You might want to even take a pen and pencil along with you because you'll probably find |
| 1:21.0 | yourself pausing a whole bunch of times and taking notes. |
| 1:23.8 | I'm Jonathan Fields and this is Good Life Project. |
| 1:33.0 | Two young fish are swimming along when they come across an older fish going the other way. |
