Daring Greatly™
Daring Greatly™ aka The Daring Way™ is an empirically based training and certification program for helping professionals, based on the research of Dr. Brené Brown. The work focuses on courage building, shame resilience, and uncovering the power of vulnerability. The methodology is designed for work with individuals, couples, families, and groups.
In 2015 all the books, the podcasts, the research and the work I was doing with couples came to the intersection of Brené Brown, Phd. I knew vulnerability was the answer and shame was the culprit behind the ways and reasons we don’t show up in our relationships. I wanted to get as much knowledge and understanding of just how powerful shame was and so I embarked on the training to become a Certified Daring Way™ Facilitator.
The week I spent in San Antonio was one of the most foundational-shaking, emotionally obliterating, freeing and exhilarating weeks of my life. I came home from that training completely shattering the armor I’d spent my life forging. I was raw, but I was whole and ready to actually start living my life and I’ve done so every single day since.
I came back not only with an immense amount of knowledge about courage, shame, vulnerability and truth, but I came back having gone through the work myself, examining what’d held me back, how I built my armor, the ways I wasn’t showing up with myself, in my marriage and with my children, and I came back with every tool and truth I needed to continue to do the work every single day (sorry, it’s not a one-and-done, but trust me, you wouldn’t want it to be).
I now use my experience of having gone through the program myself, the lessons I’ve learned, what I’ve been honored to witness in others to take people through and into their most shame resilient life both in groups and in individual and couples work.
