Brené Brown Instagram – My two-word check-in today: think-y and nest-y. I’m feeling contemplative and ready to clean. And I’m so ready to decorate for the holidays. I’m actually in cleaning sport mode. My family is in hiding. My gratitude today: Gathering with my whole family, including the in-laws and the out-laws. And having tamales and shrimp campechana. We don’t do turkey. We stopped after one particularly hard Thanksgiving when everyone was almost in tears and I turned to Ashley and said, “I don’t even like turkey. It tastes like dead bird.” Ashley snapped back, “Or like someone effed-up the chicken.” Barrett chimed in with, “Not a fan.” That was that. I’m also massively grateful for our recent podcasts guests. Our organization is off next week for fall break, so a reminder: Part 2 of my conversation with Bono drops on Wednesday. 🤘🏻 And I can’t wait for you to hear the two-parter that’s coming up on the “Dare to Lead” podcast. I’m digging in with Dr. Lisa Lahey, co-author of “Immunity to Change” along with Dr. Robert Kegan. I’ve been doing a lot of research on the “immunity to change” theory. It’s deeply powerful and explains why lasting, meaningful change is damn hard. Well, I jumped on for the podcast with Lisa, and rather than simply talking about the process, we actually engaged in it around something I’m desperate to change (and somewhat refusing to change). She is so skilled at asking questions and framing conversations—this is a MASTER class! It was also incredibly vulnerable. My real-time revelation? I am often perpetuating the exact behavior that is depleting me. It’s a conversation you’re not going to want to miss. As always, I’m grateful for this community and the way y’all show up. What’s your two-word check-in and what are you grateful for today?
