In an ideal world, this Brene quote would require no effort, in fact it would actually sound absurd!
But in our imperfect world, where we learn to disconnect from our true selves…
We have to learn to plug back in if we want to have any semblance of true joy in our lives.
Since we are relational creatures and because the “unplugging” from your true self happens in relationships… it’s impossible to complete this task of reconnecting to your true self… all by yourself.
Brene’s quote beautifully expresses why JBL exists. It’s what we’re up to in every facet of what we do! All of our offerings help us move us closer to Being who we are… together 🙂
