Brené Brown Instagram – Squeeze in, the Summer Sister Series starts today! It’s on. My sisters, Ashley and Barrett, are with me on the Unlocking Us podcast today and for the next six weeks as we work through The Gifts of Imperfection–and our current states of mind. We kept forgetting we were recording, so it really is like you’re sitting around the kitchen table with us. We sing, we laugh, we laugh at each other about the singing, and we open up for some real talk about the past and the present. The series is going to run from June 23rd to July 28th. Today we start with the Introduction and go over the 10 Guideposts. If you’re following along, you can use the 10th anniversary edition of The Gifts, or you can use your original book. Both of them are perfect for the ride. Pro Tip: Before you listen to the first podcast, I would take the Wholehearted Inventory. It’s free and you can find it on http://brenebrown.com/wholeheartedinventory/. It’s really interesting. And it gives you kind of an assessment on all the guideposts, where your strengths are, and, as we say in social work, where you have “opportunities for improvement.” Love those “opportunities.”  We start off the episode by talking very candidly about our personal Wholehearted Inventory scores. Whoa. Tough. And joyful. And real. So pull up a chair, snuggle in, and let’s spend some time together this summer with The Gifts.
