[A picture of Brené Brown with a two-word check-in on her summertime sabbatical: grief and renewal (plus 159 hours of pickleball)] Our first podcast back is a reflection on my time away. Spoiler alert: It’s all about shaking shit out of trees. You can listen [here](. I have at least 20 pages of notes from our recent podcasts. Grab your journal and a pen and get ready! [Snapshots of quotable material from recent episodes of the Dare to Lead and Unlocking Us podcasts with Brené Brown]( 1. Want some practical skills on leading through a crisis and why preparedness is essential for leaders? Check out this two-part conversation with Erika James and Lynn Perry Wooten on their new book, [The Prepared Leader: Emerge From Any Crisis More Resilient Than Before](. Part 1 of our convo can be found [here]( and Part 2 [here](. 2. Drs. John and Julie Gottman are back with a new book, [The Love Prescription]( and they’re helping us find deeper connection, joy, and intimacy in our relationships. I asked a lot of questions (for my friend). You can check out Part 1 of our discussion [here](. And Part 2 [here](. And then Ashley, Barrett, and I will sit down for a special sisters episode, where we break down what we learned. Keep an eye out for our convo on Wednesday, October 12. 3. Grateful to Adam Grant and Simon Sinek for their friendship, mentorship, and for trusting me when I reach out with a random text: “Hey, y’all want to jump on the podcast with me? I’ve got a fun idea, but I don’t want to tell you until we’re on air.” We go hard. We stay curious. We change each other’s minds. We even call a Zack Morris–style timeout at one point (for all you ’90s kids out there). We dig into the state of work, leadership as service, and the power of helping others. Part 1 is [here](. And Part 2 drops on Monday. I missed y’all! Glad to be back. Stay awkward, brave, and kind, Follow Brené on social!
