Daring Greatly Summer Book Circle
4-Week Book Circle |Mondays, August 3, 10, 17, 24, 2026
11am Central
Facilitated by Chris Flynn • on Zoom
“To love ourselves and support each other in the process of becoming real is perhaps the greatest single act of daring greatly.”
What if the courage you’re looking for isn’t about being strong…but about being real?
In Daring Greatly, Brené Brown invites us into a different way of living – one rooted not in perfection or performance, but in vulnerability, authenticity, and wholehearted connection.
Together, we’ll gently explore:
-
- Letting go of the need to “hold it all together”
- Softening the grip of shame, fear, and self-protection
- Showing up more honestly in our relationships and our lives
- Discovering the quiet strength of vulnerability
This is not a heavy or academic read – but it is a meaningful one.
If you’ve been longing to feel more at ease in your own skin…
more connected to others…
and more compassionate toward yourself…
this is a beautiful place to begin.
