“If we’re going to find our way back to each other, we have to know and understand empathy, because empathy is the antidote to shame.

If you put shame in a Petri dish, it needs three things to grow exponentially: secrecy, silence and judgment.

If you put the same amount of shame in a Petri dish and douse it with empathy, it can’t survive.

The two most powerful words, when we’re in struggle? Me too.

If we’re going to find our way back to each other, vulnerability is that path.” Brené Brown.
