What resonated with you the most from today's conversation? Was there a particular moment or insight that shifted your perspective or inspired you to approach life more creatively?
Brené Brown once said, "Vulnerability is not winning or losing; it's having the courage to show up and be seen when we have no control over the outcome." How does this idea connect to your own experiences of being misunderstood as a child or young adult? Have you had to show up and be vulnerable to change that narrative?
Can you think of an area in your life where embracing self-acceptance could improve your interactions with the people around you?
