About this listen

We all know that perfect parenting does not exist, yet we still struggle with the social expectations that teach us that being imperfect is synonymous with being inadequate. These messages are powerful and we end up spending precious time and energy managing perception and the carefully edited versions of the families we show to the world. On The Gifts of Imperfect Parenting, Dr. Brené Brown invites us on a journey to transform the lives of parents and children alike. Drawing on her 12 years of research on vulnerability, courage, worthiness, and shame, she presents ten guideposts to creating what she describes as "wholehearted" families where each of us can continually learn and grow as we reach our full potential.

"It's actually our ability to embrace imperfection that will help us teach our children to have the courage to be authentic, the compassion to love themselves and others, and the sense of connection that gives true purpose and meaning to life," states Dr. Brown. The Gifts of Imperfect Parenting is a practical and hopeful program for raising children who know that they are worthy of love, belonging, and joy.

Brene narrates the book which sounds more like she is chatting to you in your living room. Very easy to listen to and very informative.

Brilliant, informative and easy to listen to.

Brené brings focus on what actually matters in parenting. It’s not so much about what I’m doing but how I conduct myself in every minute.

As always Been is so informative, engaging and above all inspiring. Could have had a bit more on 'boundaries' which is something I really struggle with. Millie - a Granny

A great book. Really resonated with me as a parent feeling like I’ve lost my way for the past few years. I only needed to look at myself to see where I need to alter my language and behaviours so my children can feel the benefit. The shame thing was everything I needed to hear . I will be listening to this again.

I needed to hear this for myself and my kids

I enjoy listening to her, perhaps I just missed more stories or some not explained already in her talks about vulnerability. So good that feels to short.

Really good !
