Brené Brown: The Call to Courage





#BrenéBrown #TheCalltoCourage  #Vulnerability #Shame  #Empathy #Netflix 

Netflix taught fans the magic of tidying up physical clutter in their lives through Marie Kondo's hit show, and now it's time to Spring clean the soul with the help of Brené Brown. The University of Houston research professor and renowned social scientist "The Call to Courage" Stream the special on Netflix.

In college, I relied pretty heavily on Brené Brown's TEDx Houston Talk "The Power of Vulnerability" to get me through the day-to-day. Her video psyched me up before job interviews, reassured me when I failed, and calmed me when I felt overwhelmed with anxiety. I don't think I'm alone in my respect for Brown — her address is one of the top five most viewed TED Talks ever, with 38 million. She has become a go-to source on the study of shame, empathy, vulnerability, and (of course) courage, the focus of her Netflix special.

The special, filmed in front of a live audience, is a recording of an hour-long speech she gave in Royce Hall at UCLA. She'll discuss the relationship between courage and vulnerability, plus the journey she's taken since the overwhelming success of her 2010 TED Talk. Of course, viewers familiar with Brown's public speaking and bestselling books can expect this address to include her same humor and honesty. I'm already feeling empowered just thinking about the advice Brown will share, but I still wish March would go by a little bit faster.

National Ice Cream Day : Where to Get Free Ice Cream This Sunday, July 21st

 #IceCream #IceCreamSandwich #NationalIceCreamDay #NationalIceCreamMonth July is National Ice Cream Month, and Sunday is National Ice Cream Day, so it’s time for discounts. Refinery29 and U.S. News have lists of chains offering free and discounted ice cream. Some deals are just for Sunday, some run all next week, and some are around all month. The outlook isn’t as great as National Donut Day , when several national chains handed out free donuts, some just asking you to buy a coffee first. So far there are only two truly free nationwide deals: “Mini cups” for two hours at Dippin’ Dots, and a free small Blizzard if you download the Dairy Queen app. Pizza chain Your Pie is giving out free gelato on Sunday. Baskin-Robbins, Cold Stone, and Carvel have a buy-one-get-one deal. Ben & Jerry’s stores are offering nothing, which sounds less hippie and more Republican. Their pints are two for $6 at Whole Foods, Friday to Saturday. The rich get richer. Know any ice cream deals at yo...
