Brené Brown Quotes: Courage, Empathy & Vulnerability for Personal Growth

So many of us can remember the moment we first listened to storyteller and research professor Dr. Brené Brown’s Ted Talk (58+ million views on Ted’s site alone!). She spoke about vulnerability with such a refreshing perspective: “vulnerability is the birthplace of innovation, creativity and change.” That was many years ago for me, and what a blessing to deepen in awareness about true belonging, habits of compassionate people, and ideas of wholehearted living to strengthen self-worth. In this post, you’ll find favorite Brené Brown Quotes as well as resources for prints, books and more.

“THE NEAR ENEMY OF LOVE IS ATTACHMENT…TRUE LOVE ALLOWS, HONORS, AND APPRECIATES; ATTACHMENT GRASPS, DEMANDS, NEEDS, AND AIMS TO POSSESS.”

“I’ve spent over 20 years studying the emotions and experiences that bring meaning and purpose to our lives, and if there’s one thing I’ve learned it’s this: We are hardwired for connection, and connecting requires courage, vulnerability, and conversation.”

–Brené Brown

“VULNERABILITY IS NOT WINNING OR LOSING. IT’S HAVING THE COURAGE TO SHOW UP WHEN YOU CAN’T CONTROL THE OUTCOME.”

Pssst. Did you know she has a podcast called Unlocking Us? It is a an amazing source of hope as we all confront painful emotions, crave a sense of perspective, and struggle with the discomfort of vulnerability.

Brené Brown Quotes: Courage, Empathy & Vulnerability

But why? Why make space for all these words about cultivating courage? And what’s to gain as we lean into deeper levels of vulnerability? We all have work to do. We all experience painful feelings of shame and long for a greater sense of purpose. No matter your age, there are ways we all need to grow.

Brené Brown Quotes – “SHAME CORRODES THE VERY PART OF US THAT BELIEVES WE ARE CAPABLE OF CHANGE.”

It may be a small thing, but I can’t think of a single social problem in the culture that cannot in part be healed by: A CHANGE OF HEART, a willingness to grow more humble, a transformation of spirit, a shift of mindset, and a long look in the mirror.

“WE CAN’T ASK PEOPLE TO GIVE US SOMETHING THAT WE BELIEVE WE ARE NOT WORTHY OF RECEIVING.”

The Talk That Put Her Name on Our Lips

Brené Brown Quotes – “SELF KINDNESS: BEING WARM AND UNDERSTANDING TOWARD OURSELVES WHEN WE SUFFER, FAIL, OR FEEL INADEQUATE.”

Brown encourages us to become more self-aware and discover a sense of belonging in spite of our imperfect selves.

Atlas of the Heart: Mapping Meaningful Connection and the Language of Human Experience by Brene Brown - book cover (Random House, 2022).
Atlas of the Heart (Random House, 2022)

I’m so grateful for the vocabulary her books have provided. She unpacks ideas about addictive belief systems, meaningful spiritual lives, wholehearted leadership, shame-based fears, and what healthy striving looks like.

Brené Brown quote about empathy, courage, boundaries and vulnerability on Hello Lovely Studio. #empathyquotes #selfkindness #brenebrownquotes
“AT THE END OF THE DAY, AT THE END OF THE WEEK, AT THE END OF MY LIFE, I WANT TO SAY THAT I CONTRIBUTED MORE THAN I CRITICIZED.”

Here’s how Brown helps us understand where our focus needs to be. “Healthy striving is self-focused: How can I improve? Perfectionism is other-focused: What will they think?”

I wish her books and teaching had been available when I was a struggling young parent facing challenges I felt ill equipped to meet.

Brené Brown quote about empathy, courage, boundaries and vulnerability on Hello Lovely Studio. #empathyquotes #selfkindness #brenebrownquotes
Brené Brown Quotes – “LOVING OURSELVES THROUGH THE PROCESS OF OWNING OUR STORY IS THE BRAVEST THING WE WILL EVER DO.”

What is it even mean to live wholeheartedly? “To love someone fiercely, to believe in something with your whole heart, to celebrate a fleeting moment in time, to fully engage in a life that doesn’t come with guarantees.”

2018’s Dare to Lead – Brené Brown Quotes

The University of Houston professor often consults with corporate leaders. Concerning leadership, she says: “Courage is contagious. A critical mass of brave leaders is the foundation of an intentionally courageous culture.”

Brené Brown quote about empathy, courage, boundaries and vulnerability on Hello Lovely Studio. #empathyquotes #selfkindness #brenebrownquotes
“HERE’S WHAT I THINK INTEGRITY IS: IT’S CHOOSING COURAGE OVER COMFORT, CHOOSING WHAT’S RIGHT OVER WHAT’S FUN, FAST, OR EASY. AND PRACTICING YOUR VALUES.”

One of my favorite quotes from Brené Brown? “If you are not in the arena getting your ass kicked on occasion, I am not interested in or open to your feedback.”

2017’s Rising Strong

In her discussion of our collection of choices, how perfectionism hampers success, and how rage and bad decisions are some of our greatest barriers, she reminds us how we are worthy of love and how cultivating a whole heart is never a waste of time.

Brené Brown quote about empathy, courage, boundaries and vulnerability on Hello Lovely Studio. #empathyquotes #selfkindness #brenebrownquotes
“WHERE PERFECTIONISM IS DRIVING, YOUR SHAME IS RIDING SHOTGUN.”

“Perfectionism is a twenty-ton shield that we lug around thinking it will protect us when, in fact, it’s the thing that’s really preventing us from taking flight.”— Brené Brown

Daring Greatly by Brene Brown book cover
2015’s Daring Greatly

The cultural importance of Brown’s work is particularly relevant just now as depression, anxiety disorders, addiction, narcissism, entitlement, and life paralysis are pervasive issues.

Brené Brown quote about empathy, courage, boundaries and vulnerability on Hello Lovely Studio. #empathyquotes #selfkindness #brenebrownquotes
“DON’T TRY TO WIN OVER THE HATERS. YOU ARE NOT A JACKASS WHISPERER.”

What is authenticity according to Brown? “Authenticity is a collection of choices that we have to make every day. It’s about the choice to show up and be real.”

The Power of Vulnerability: Teachings of Authenticity, Connection, and Courage
2013’s Audiobook, The Power of Vulnerability

I appreciate Brown’s own vulnerability when she discusses spirituality, her own broken parts, and the necessity of letting go of our fear of uncertainty. Recognizing that so much of this territory is a place of mystery for most of us, she lends a helping hand by offering us new emotional vocabulary…and sometimes a script!

Vulnerability Quotes From Brown

Brené Brown quote about empathy, courage, boundaries and vulnerability on Hello Lovely Studio. #empathyquotes #selfkindness #brenebrownquotes
“NO MATTER WHAT GETS DONE AND HOW MUCH IS LEFT UNDONE, I AM ENOUGH.”

Brown often cautions us about comparison. She writes, “Nostalgia is also a dangerous form of comparison. Think about how often we compare our lives to a memory that nostalgia has so completely edited that it never really existed.”

Letting go of perfection and constant evaluation to embrace a greater level of self-acceptance is not a small thing and is a primary theme surfacing in this perfect book for perfectionists.

Brené Brown quote about empathy, courage, boundaries and vulnerability on Hello Lovely Studio. #empathyquotes #selfkindness #brenebrownquotes
“AVOIDANCE WILL MAKE YOU FEEL LESS VULNERABLE IN THE SHORT RUN, BUT IT WILL NEVER MAKE YOU LESS AFRAID.”

“Nothing has transformed my life more than realizing that it’s a waste of time to evaluate my worthiness by weighing the reaction of the people in the stands.”

“The mark of a wild heart is living out the paradox of love in our lives. It’s the ability to be tough and tender, excited and scared, brave and afraid — all in the same moment. It’s showing up in our vulnerability and our courage, being both fierce and kind.” – Brene Brown

Brené Brown quote about empathy, courage, boundaries and vulnerability on Hello Lovely Studio. #empathyquotes #selfkindness #brenebrownquotes
“WHEN WE’RE BUSY PLEASING, PERFECTING, AND PERFORMING, WE END UP SAYING YES A LOT WHEN WE MEAN NO.”

Why should we commit to exploring: the shadows, our fear of the dark and our inadequacies? She writes: “Only when we are brave enough to explore the darkness will we discover the infinite power of our light.”

Inspiring & Encouraging Wisdom Quotes

Brené Brown quote about empathy, courage, boundaries and vulnerability on Hello Lovely Studio. #empathyquotes #faithquotes #brenebrownquotes
“I THOUGHT FAITH WOULD SAY, “I’LL TAKE AWAY THE PAIN AND DISCOMFORT,” BUT WHAT IT ENDED UP SAYING WAS, “I’LL SIT WITH YOU IN IT.”

“Vulnerability is the birthplace of love, belonging, joy, courage, empathy, and creativity. It is the source of hope, empathy, accountability, and authenticity.”

Brené Brown quote about empathy, courage, boundaries and vulnerability on Hello Lovely Studio. #empathyquotes #selfkindness #brenebrownquotes
“BLAME HAS AN INVERSE RELATIONSHIP WITH ACCOUNTABILITY. ACCOUNTABILITY BY DEFINITION IS A VULNERABLE PROCESS…BLAMING IS ONE OF THE REASONS WE MISS OUR OPPORTUNITIES FOR EMPATHY.”

Why journey into wild territory? “When we are willing to risk venturing into the wilderness, and even becoming our own wilderness, we feel the deepest connection to our true self and to what matters the most.”

Brené Brown quote about empathy, courage, boundaries and vulnerability on Hello Lovely Studio. #empathyquotes #authenticityquotes #brenebrownquotes
“AUTHENTICITY IS THE DAILY PRACTICE OF LETTING GO OF WHO WE THINK WE’RE SUPPOSED TO BE AND EMBRACING WHO WE ARE.”

Courage is another recurring theme in Brown’s work. She writes, “If you trade in your authenticity for safety, you may experience… addiction, rage, blame, resentment, and inexplicable grief.”

Brené Brown quote about empathy, courage, boundaries and vulnerability on Hello Lovely Studio. #empathyquotes #selfkindness #brenebrownquotes
“DARING IS NOT SAYING “I’M WILLING TO RISK FAILURE.” DARING IS SAYING “I KNOW I WILL EVENTUALLY FAIL, AND I’M STILL ALL IN.”

“If we can share our story with someone who responds with empathy and understanding, shame can’t survive.”

Vulnerability is Not Oversharing

A lot of folks hear ‘vulnerability’ and think it means spilling your guts or disclosing an excess of personal material.

Atlas of the Heart Brené Brown quote about empathy, courage, boundaries and emotion on Hello Lovely Studio. #brenebrownquotes
“SCIENCE IS NOT THE TRUTH. SCIENCE IS FINDING THE TRUTH. WHEN SCIENCE CHANGES ITS OPINION, IT DIDN’T LIE TO YOU. IT LEARNED MORE.”

But that’s not it. Here is how BB explains the difference:

“Sharing appropriately, with boundaries, means sharing with people with whom we’ve developed relationships that can bear the weight of our story. The result of this mutually respectful vulnerability is increased connection, trust, and engagement.

Atlas of the Heart Brené Brown quote about empathy, courage, boundaries and emotion on Hello Lovely Studio. #brenebrownquotes
“VULNERABILITY IS NOT OVERSHARING, IT’S SHARING WITH PEOPLE WHO HAVE EARNED THE RIGHT TO HEAR OUR STORY.”

Vulnerability without boundaries leads to disconnection, distrust, and disengagement. In fact…boundaryless disclosure is one way we protect ourselves from real vulnerability.”

Atlas of the Heart Brené Brown quote about empathy, courage, boundaries and emotion on Hello Lovely Studio. #brenebrownquotes
ABOVE: “VULNERABILITY IS NOT WEAKNESS; IT’S OUR GREATEST MEASURE OF COURAGE.”

Brene writes: “We cannot selectively numb emotions, when we numb the painful emotions, we also numb the positive emotions.”

Quotes to Pin About Trust & Relationships

Atlas of the Heart Brené Brown quote about empathy, courage, boundaries and emotion on Hello Lovely Studio. #brenebrownquotes
“WHEN SOMEONE SHARES THEIR HOPES AND DREAMS WITH US, WE ARE WITNESSING DEEP COURAGE AND VULNERABILITY. CELEBRATING THEIR SUCCESSES IS EASY, BUT WHEN DISAPPOINTMENT HAPPENS, IT’S AN INCREDIBLE OPPORTUNITY FOR MEANINGFUL CONNECTION.”

“When I see people stand fully in their truth, or when I see someone fall down, get back up, and say, ‘Damn. That really hurt, but this is important to me, and I’m going in again’—my gut reaction is, ‘What a badass.”

Atlas of the Heart Brené Brown quote about empathy, courage, boundaries and emotion on Hello Lovely Studio. #brenebrownquotes
“RESENTMENT IS THE FEELING OF FRUSTRATION, JUDGMENT, ANGER, ‘BETTER THAN,’ AND/OR HIDDEN ENVY RELATED TO PERCEIVED UNFAIRNESS OR INJUSTICE. IT’S AN EMOTION THAT WE OFTEN EXPERIENCE WHEN WE FAIL TO SET BOUNDARIES OR ASK FOR WHAT WE NEED, OR WHEN EXPECTATIONS LET US DOWN BECAUSE THEY WERE BASED ON THINGS WE CAN’T CONTROL, LIKE WHAT OTHER PEOPLE THINK, WHAT THEY FEEL, OR HOW THEY’RE GOING TO REACT.”
Atlas of the Heart Brené Brown quote about empathy, courage, boundaries and emotion on Hello Lovely Studio. #brenebrownquotes
“I’VE LEARNED THAT POWER IS NOT BAD, BUT THE ABUSE OF POWER OR USING POWER OVER OTHERS IS THE OPPOSITE OF COURAGE; IT’S A DESPERATE ATTEMPT TO MAINTAIN A VERY FRAGILE EGO.”
Atlas of the Heart Brené Brown quote about empathy, courage, boundaries and emotion on Hello Lovely Studio. #brenebrownquotes
“‘NO REGRETS’ HAS BECOME SYNONYMOUS WITH DARING AND ADVENTURE, BUT I DISAGREE. THE IDEA OF ‘NO REGRETS’ DOESN’T MEAN LIVING WITH COURAGE, IT MEANS LIVING WITHOUT REFLECTION. TO LIVE WITHOUT REGRET IS TO BELIEVE WE HAVE NOTHING TO LEARN, NO AMENDS TO MAKE, AND NO OPPORTUNITY TO BE BRAVER WITH OUR LIVES.”

Brené Brown Explains Blame

I love these short animated teachings and bet you will too!

Atlas of the Heart Brené Brown quote about empathy, courage, boundaries and emotion on Hello Lovely Studio. #brenebrownquotes
“IN FACT RESEARCH SHOWS THAT THE PROCESS OF LABELING EMOTIONAL EXPERIENCE IS RELATED TO GREATER EMOTION REGULATION AND PSYCHOSOCIAL WELL-BEING.”
Atlas of the Heart Brené Brown quote about empathy, courage, boundaries and emotion on Hello Lovely Studio. #brenebrownquotes
“WE NEED HAPPY MOMENTS AND HAPPINESS IN OUR LIVES; HOWEVER, I’M GROWING MORE CONVINCED THAT THE PURSUIT OF HAPPINESS MAY GET IN THE WAY OF DEEPER, MORE MEANINGFUL EXPERIENCES LIKE JOY AND GRATITUDE. I KNOW, FROM TEH RESEARCH AND MY EXPERIENCES, THAT WHEN IT COMES TO PARENTING, WHAT MAKES CHILDREN HAPPY IN THE MOMENT IS NOT ALWAYS WHAT LEADS THEM TO DEVELOPING DEEPER JOY, GROUNDED CONFIDENCE, AND MEANINGFUL CONNECTION.”

Brené Brown Quotes to Pin and Ponder! “TAKING PLEASURE IN SOMEONE ELSE’S FAILINGS, EVEN IF THAT PERSON IS SOMEONE WE REALLY DISLIKE, CAN VIOLATE OUR VALUES AND LEAD TO FEELINGS OF GUILT AND SHAME. BUT, MAKE NO MISTAKE, IT’S SEDUCTIVE, ESPECIALLY WHEN WE’RE SUCKED INTO GROUPTHINK.”
Atlas of the Heart Brené Brown quote about empathy, courage, boundaries and emotion on Hello Lovely Studio. #brenebrownquotes
“GOOD FRIENDS AREN’T AFRAID OF YOUR LIGHT. THEY NEVER BLOW OUT YOUR FLAME AND YOU DON’T OUT THEIRS–EVEN WHEN IT’S REALLY BRIGHT AND IT MAKES YOU WORRY ABOUT YOUR OWN FLAME.”

The Gifts of Imperfection

I’m not sure we can ever be reminded often enough that we are enough. But we are!

Atlas of the Heart Brené Brown quote about empathy, courage, boundaries and emotion on Hello Lovely Studio. #brenebrownquotes
“WHEN WE REJECT THE TRUTH OF SOMEONE’S STORY–THE ULTIMATE FAILURE OF STORY STEWARDSHIP–IT’S OFTEN BECAUSE WE’VE STEALTHILY CENTERED OURSELVES IN THEIR STORY, AND THE NARRATIVE TAKEOVER IS ABOUT PROTECTING OUR EGO, BEHAVIOR, OR PRIVILEGE. THE LESS DIVERSE OUR LIVED EXPERIENCES, THE MORE LIKELY WE ARE TO FIND OURSELVES STRUGGLING WITH NARRATIVE TAKEOVER OR NARRATIVE TAP-OUT.”
Atlas of the Heart Brené Brown quote about empathy, courage, boundaries and emotion on Hello Lovely Studio. #brenebrownquotes
“EMPATHY IS NOT RELATING TO AN EXPERIENCE, IT’S CONNECTING TO WHAT SOMEONE IS FEELING ABOUT AN EXPERIENCE.”

How Shame Shapes Us

Atlas of the Heart Brené Brown quote about empathy, courage, boundaries and emotion on Hello Lovely Studio. #brenebrownquotes
“THERE ARE TOO MANY PEOPLE IN THE WORLD TODAY WHO DECIDE TO LIVE DISAPPOINTED RATHER THAN RISK FEELING DISAPPOINTMENT. THIS CAN TAKE THE SHAPE OF NUMBING, FOREBODING JOY, BEING CYNICAL OR CRITICAL, OR JUST NEVER REALLY FULLY ENGAGING.”
Atlas of the Heart Brené Brown quote about empathy, courage, boundaries and emotion on Hello Lovely Studio. #brenebrownquotes
“THIS IS ONE REASON WE NEED TO DISPEL THE MYTH THAT EMPATHY IS ‘WALKING IN SOMEONE ELSE’S SHOES.’ RATHER THAN WALKING IN YOUR SHOES, I NEED TO LEARN HOW TO LISTEN TO THE STORY YOU TELL ABOUT WHAT IT’S LIKE IN YOUR SHOES AND BELIEVE YOU WHEN IT DOESN’T MATCH MY EXPERIENCES.”
Atlas of the Heart Brené Brown quote about empathy, courage, boundaries and emotion on Hello Lovely Studio. #brenebrownquotes
“CHOOSING TO BE CURIOUS IS CHOOSING TO BE VULNERABLE BECAUSE IT REQUIRES US TO SURRENDER TO UNCERTAINTY.”
Atlas of the Heart Brené Brown quote about empathy, courage, boundaries and emotion on Hello Lovely Studio. #brenebrownquotes
“COMPARISON IS THE CRUSH OF CONFORMITY FROM ONE SIDE AND COMPETITION FROM THE OTHER–IT’S TRYING TO SIMULTANEOUSLY FIT IN AND STAND OUT. COMPARISON SAYS, “BE LIKE EVERYONE ELSE, BUT BETTER.”
Atlas of the Heart Brené Brown quote about empathy, courage, boundaries and emotion on Hello Lovely Studio. #brenebrownquotes
“COMMUNICATING OUR EXPECTATIONS IS BRAVE AND VULNERABLE. AND IT BUILDS MEANINGFUL CONNECTION AND OFTEN LEADS TO HAVING A PARTNER OR FRIEND WHO WE CAN REALITY-CHECK WITH.”
Atlas of the Heart Brené Brown quote about empathy, courage, boundaries and emotion on Hello Lovely Studio. #brenebrownquotes
“WERE THE COMFORT AND SAFETY OF THAT PAST EXISTENCE REAL? IF SO, WERE THEY AT SOMEONE ELSE’S EXPENSE?”

      Thanks so much for considering them, Holly. My background in psychology and counseling paired with the fact I’m about the same age as Brene means her work resonates deeply with me. She is doing so much good in the world as her work contributes to improved relationships, communication, and self-acceptance. xox
