We were doing an event together at the Omega Institute in New York. So I thought I’d spend a few minutes with you talking about what strong back, soft front, and wild heart really means, and hopefully these words are helpful to you too.īB: So the first time I heard the term “strong back, soft front,” it was from Joan Halifax. Those words are: “Strong back, soft front, wild heart.” These words breathe something into me that make me kind of straighten up and take a deep breath and keep doing the next right thing. And the only thing I could offer her right now are the words that I often whisper to myself when I feel wobbly and worried. I’m just feeling a swirl of uncertainty, anxiety, and definitely a lot of stubborn hope as well.īB: I was texting with my daughter, who’s 21, and she is navigating the election, she is navigating her senior year in college, which looks very different than I think what she had planned or what she had hoped for, and just going through a lot of kind of hard new grown-up stuff. This is going to drop tonight, or I guess tomorrow morning at on November 4th, and I have no idea what tonight or tomorrow will hold, none of us do, no crystal ball, not even a great gut on how the election will turn out. Brené Brown: Hi, everyone, I’m Brené Brown, and this is Unlocking Us.īB: So I’m recording this on Tuesday, November 3rd, Election Day, and I spent the morning thinking about what I could possibly say to you, this amazing whole-hearted community of listeners.
