Rising Strong as a Spiritual Practice: How The Belief In A Loving Source Makes Us Stronger (Full-Length Audio by Brené Brown)
Spirituality―How It Makes Us Stronger
With her previous bestsellers, Dr. Brené Brown helped us realize that vulnerability is the birthplace for trust, courage, joy, creativity, and love.
Yet a willingness to be vulnerable means accepting that life will sometimes knock us down.
Where do we find the strength to get back up? In her research on resilient people, Brené discovered a key factor. “Without exception,” she says, “the concept of spirituality emerged from the data as a critical component of resilience and overcoming struggle.”
In Rising Strong as a Spiritual Practice, Brené offers an in-depth exploration of this key aspect of wholehearted living, including:
• The spiritual dimension of the Rising Strong process: the Reckoning, the Rumble, and the Revolution
• A sense of belonging―how spirituality encourages us to be ourselves instead of trying to change in order to fit in
• Why the sense of perspective provided by a spiritual practice helps us find meaning and purpose
• “Are we doing the best we can?”―How faith in humanity can help us become more compassionate and less judgmental
• Why the spiritual understanding of death and rebirth are invaluable in the process of forgiveness
In Rising Strong as a Spiritual Practice, Brené defines spirituality as something not reliant on religion, theology, or dogma―rather, it is a belief in our interconnectedness and in a loving force greater than ourselves.
Whether you access the sacred through traditional worship, solitary meditation, communion with nature, or creative pursuits, one thing is clear…
Cultivating your own approach to spirituality gives you an irreplaceable resource to help you persevere through hard times and arise stronger and wiser than before.
REVIEWS:
“This is a recording of Dr. Brown sharing her work as documented in some of her previous books at a seminar.
Although I read all of her books, her ability to bring it all together into a coherent narrative along with her wonderful talent for storytelling makes this a fantastic experience which I highly recommend.
In addition, listening to this wonderful, brave person sharing and being vulnerable, walking her talk, is simply inspiring. Even if you already read her work, this recording adds color and insight.”
“Very downhome and approachable presentation and discussion of the principles and application of rising strong. Listened to it start to finish during a road trip. It gave me hope and made me laugh. In addition to helping me move through some ongoing personal stuff (rumbling through grief) it also helped paint a picture of how important the palette of emotions are in these polarizing times.”
“Brené Brown’s research and work have given us a new vocabulary, a way to talk with each other about the ideas and feelings and fears we’ve all had but haven’t quite known how to articulate. . . . Brené empowers us each to be a little more courageous.”—The Huffington Post

This is the true gospel! These are sacred, holy teachings that are healing and changing my life!! Thank you, Brene. You are a guru.
In awe of the Wisdom and truth !!!!
This spoke to me so much. Especially when she said we can be with our hurt or we can hurt others. I realized that when I'm feeling overwhelmed and like I have lost control I push away guilt and shame (the "I am not enough" feeling) by attacking the most important person in my life. Because all those feelings can't be because there are things I need to examine within myself….no, the feelings must be someone else's fault, right? It must be because I'm not getting enough help, or enough support. But the truth actually is I'm feeling that guilt and shame because I'm allowing those who's opinions don't matter to tell me who I should be. And the truth is, leaving the dishes in the sink and playing a video game with my daughter does not make me a bad or lazy mom. It makes me a freakin awesome mom. So from now on they can suck it! 😉
Thank you for this upload. <3
Your work,your candour and humour are so vitally important Dr. Brown!
And…
Great questions Tammy- esp the SFD and being able to be emotionally honest with your self and connecting it to bringing it up in therapy! Awesome stuff!
why no video ?
I am becoming familiar with the rising strong beliefs you presented in your podcast. My experience and feelings have been converted to language iand experiennce with this information. I am grievinng something in my life that has something to do with the lack of connection with the people in my mostly Republican community. No one welcomed us when we arrived here and no one seems to know that we live here. I have tried to connect, but will be trying harder in the next few months when I go house to house to ask what residents desire who live in our community. I also plan to visit the local Christian churches and see who is attending and whether they are aa diverse community that I could learn from.
I appreciate courage, faith, and other things you mentioned in your talk about our jobs, our families, and our hard situations. Thank you
This has smacked me in the face so many times I’ve had to stop and digest it like a 7 course meal!! You resonate with me so often I sometimes think we met in a former life!!! You are amazing and a blessing in so many ways. Thank you for what you do and thank you for helping me grow despite the discomfort!!! I love learning new perspective to old problems and learning to play in the arenas and not watch from the sidelines!! ❤️
