Unlocking Us with Brene Brown

Unlocking Us is an emotionally deep podcast, but you would expect nothing less from Brene Brown. She explores ideas, stories and emotions that connect us all. Not unlike her books there are intimate interviews and personal reflections where she delves into subjects like shame, vulnerability, courage, grief and belonging. Her aim is to help her listeners feel less alone in the mess that can be life, and she makes clear that being human isn’t about being perfect.

Each episode includes a different guest from a range of backgrounds with her hope being that listeners will become more self-aware and compassionate towards themselves and others. If I am having a hard time remembering that I need to look after myself and be compassionate to my own needs this podcast is a gentle reminder that helps my direction.
