Brené Brown is a professor in the United States, an author, podcast host and lecturer. She is most known for her revolutionary research on shame, leadership, and the power of authenticity.

Brené Brown’s famous quotes on authenticity:

Authenticity is the daily practice of letting go of who we think we are supposed to be and embracing who we are.

The core of authenticity is the courage to be imperfect, vulnerable, and to set boundaries.

Authenticity is a collection of choices that we have to make everyday. It’s about the choice to show up and be real. The choice to be honest. The choice to let our true selves be seen.

You can choose courage or you can choose comfort, but you can’t choose both.

Authenticity is not something we have or don’t have. It’s a practice…..a conscious choice of how we want to live. Authenticity is a collection of choices that we have to make everyday. It’s about the choice to show up and be real. The choice to be honest. The choice to let our true selves be seen.
