“Courage starts with showing up and letting ourselves be seen.” - Brené Brown

1. Connection is why we are here
2. Shame is the fear of disconnection: "Is there something about me that, if other people know it or see it, that I won't be worthy of connection? I'm not __________ enough"
3. Vulnerability is the idea that in order for connection to happen, we have to allow ourselves to be seen, really seen
4. Whole-hearted people, living from a deep sense of worthiness have:

• courage to be imperfect (to tell the story of who you are with your whole heart) - fully embrace vulnerability 
• compassion to be kind to themselves first and then to others, because, as it turns out, we can't practice compassion with other people if we can't treat ourselves kindly
• connection - the thing that gives purpose and meaning to our lives
