It’s not an FFT (First F*cking Time, cousin of the Sh*tty First Draft), which also brings numerous challenges as Brené discussed on her FFT pod, but it is what comes after the FFT.
We’re not beginning the journey, nor are we ending it. Day 2 is long, tiring, and we often feel lost on Day 2. Day 2 is not “all hands to the pump” to stay alive.
You remember that Day the feeling sometime between July and September when you realised that the initial “emergency” was over, the adrenaline had run out, and we were back at the COVID-19 buffet for (at least) a second helping. I needed it.īrené’s podcast on Day 2 arrived on Day 2 of the pandemic. But unlike many other post-it notes that have since flown away, “Calm” remained. It was what I needed to hear, and so the post-it note was created. And Brené’s definition of Calm just struck a chord with me. Her authentic mix of academic wisdom, honest conversations with interesting guests, and every day human misgivings as a Mum, Wife, Sister, and Daughter is what the world needs more of right now, and I’m going to tell you why.Ī post-it note has been stuck on the wall above my computer since April when I heard Brené riffing on “Anxiety/Calm and Over-functioning/Under-functioning” in her. After conquering Netflix with “ The Call to Courage” in 2019 (it was the first "Coschool film club" film), she burst onto the podcast scene in 2020, creating two series that are perfectly timed for the pandemic times we live in: Unlocking Us and Daring to Lead (based on her leadership book by the same name).įrom the comfort of her spare bedroom in Houston, Texas, Brené has invited us to lean into discomfort and become more awkward, brave, and kind. Brené Brown is a researcher, author, and speaker turned counsellor-at-scale for humans everywhere. If you have heard of her, and you’re a big fan like me, this is also for you. If you haven’t discovered Brené Brown yet, this is for you.
