Brené discusses how people can cultivate meaningful connections within themselves and with others.

Brené grapples with some of the most uncomfortable emotions, including stress, anxiety, vulnerability and feeling overwhelmed, with help from Harvard-trained psychiatrist Dr. Percy Ballard and more.

Brené connects with her audience on the topic of social comparison and the ways it can affect relationships and self-worth while exploring envy, jealousy, admiration, reverence and resentment.

Brené examines some of the more ambiguous and seemingly contradictory emotions, including sarcasm and self-righteousness; Brené's guest, fellow best-selling author Susan Cain, explores the intricacies of life's bittersweet moments.

Brené maps out a new framework for cultivating meaningful connection by exploring three skill sets that emerged from her research: developing grounded confidence, practicing the courage to walk alongside and story stewardship.
