In The Gifts of Imperfection, Brené Brown writes about living wholeheartedly, which refers to living with purpose, love and worthiness. We examine the thoughts, emotions, and behaviors that are holding us back and we identify the new choices and practices that will move us toward more authentic and wholehearted living. A focus of this curriculum is on developing shame resilience skills and developing daily practices that transform the way we live, love, parent, and lead. During the process we explore topics such as vulnerability, courage, shame, empathy and worthiness.
