Daring Greatly, a book by researcher and storyteller Dr. Brené Brown, challenges everything we think we know about vulnerability. Based on twelve years of research, the author argues that vulnerability is not weakness, but rather our clearest path to courage, engagement and meaningful connection.
Diversity within a community can bring an enriching experience that supports and affirms the gifts of all women. If your community has not welcomed new voices to the table, consider taking a risk. How are you using your gift of courage each day? Do women feel welcomed and comfortable in your community?
