Your Story Matters: Own It
Brené, August '09"Owning our story and loving ourselves through that process is the bravest thing we'll ever do." --Brené Brown, Ph.D., LMSW
This week I'm celebrating the release of Brené's new DVD, The Hustle for Worthiness: Exploring the Power of Love, Belonging, and Being Enough, with her. Watching Brené's work develop is like watching a master archer at target practice--she is increasingly hitting the mark on truths that are more and more central to our lives.
This talk holds so many insights that you will want to completely rearrange around, you will want to watch it over again and let the power of what she is finding and saying sink in deeply. Then you'll want all your favorite people to watch it, too, so they can join you in this conversation.
To celebrate the release, we're giving away a copy of The Hustle for Worthiness to a commenter on this post. You have until midnight, Friday, March 12th to enter. Just leave this comment: "My story matters because I matter." Go ahead--you can own it.
And the winner is (selected with the help of random.org) . . . Jane from New Zealand! Congratulations, Jane--email me your shipping address at jen at jenlee dot net and we'll get your copy of The Hustle for Worthiness on its way.

"My story matters because I matter". Seeing this written so many times made me think of the word 'mater' which means mother, and how my story is so interwoven with my mothers life and untimely death. That urge to tell your story. Bravo to Brene for producing this dvd. If I don't win it I will certainly buy it :)
