The Bravery of Loving Yourself Through It All
“Owning our story and loving ourselves through that process is the bravest thing that we’ll ever do.”
On November 18, Brené Brown celebrates her 60th birthday and her words feel especially powerful for anyone navigating cancer or a serious health issue.
Brené is known for her research on empathy, vulnerability, shame, and courage—four emotions that show up throughout every cancer patient’s journey.
But her quote gets right to the heart of what matters most:
when we face our reality with honesty and offer ourselves love anyway, we tap into a deeper kind of strength.
That strength makes you brave even when you feel weak.
It makes you brave even when everything feels like it’s falling apart.
It makes you brave enough to keep showing up, day after day, refusing to give up.
Keep fighting.
Keep loving yourself. 🫶
