Brené Brown: The Power of Vulnerability
READING TIME: 2 MINUTES
In this TED talk, Brené Brown, who has been studying vulnerability for the last two decades, teaches us about how to lead a wholehearted and more meaningful life.
Brown reviewed her research and spent years trying to understand how whole-hearted people, who live from a deep sense of worthiness, were making decisions and what choices they were making in life. “What are we doing with vulnerability? Why do we struggle with it so much? Am I alone in struggling with vulnerability?” Here is what she learned.
We numb vulnerability — when we’re waiting for the call. It was funny, I sent something out on Twitter and on Facebook that says, “How would you define vulnerability? What makes you feel vulnerable?” And within an hour and a half, I had 150 responses. Because I wanted to know what’s out there. Having to ask my husband for help because I’m sick, and we’re newly married; initiating sex with my husband; initiating sex with my wife; being turned down; asking someone out; waiting for the doctor to call back; getting laid off; laying off people — this is the world we live in. We live in a vulnerable world. And one of the ways we deal with it is we numb vulnerability.
[…]
One of the things that I think we need to think about is why and how we numb. And it doesn’t just have to be addiction. The other thing we do is we make everything that’s uncertain certain. Religion has gone from a belief in faith and mystery to certainty. I’m right, you’re wrong. Shut up. That’s it. Just certain. The more afraid we are, the more vulnerable we are, the more afraid we are. This is what politics looks like today. There’s no discourse anymore. There’s no conversation. There’s just blame. You know how blame is described in the research? A way to discharge pain and discomfort. We perfect. If there’s anyone who wants their life to look like this, it would be me, but it doesn’t work. Because what we do is we take fat from our butts and put it in our cheeks. (Laughter) Which just, I hope in 100 years, people will look back and go, “Wow.”
And we perfect, most dangerously, our children. Let me tell you what we think about children. They’re hardwired for struggle when they get here. And when you hold those perfect little babies in your hand, our job is not to say, “Look at her, she’s perfect. My job is just to keep her perfect — make sure she makes the tennis team by fifth grade and Yale by seventh grade.” That’s not our job. Our job is to look and say, “You know what? You’re imperfect, and you’re wired for struggle, but you are worthy of love and belonging.” That’s our job. Show me a generation of kids raised like that, and we’ll end the problems I think that we see today. We pretend that what we do doesn’t have an effect on people. We do that in our personal lives. We do that corporate — whether it’s a bailout, an oil spill, a recall — we pretend like what we’re doing doesn’t have a huge impact on other people. I would say to companies, this is not our first rodeo, people. We just need you to be authentic and real and say, “We’re sorry. We’ll fix it.”
But there’s another way, and I’ll leave you with this. This is what I have found: to let ourselves be seen, deeply seen, vulnerably seen; to love with our whole hearts, even though there’s no guarantee — and that’s really hard, and I can tell you as a parent, that’s excruciatingly difficult — to practice gratitude and joy in those moments of terror, when we’re wondering, “Can I love you this much? Can I believe in this this passionately? Can I be this fierce about this?” just to be able to stop and, instead of catastrophizing what might happen, to say, “I’m just so grateful, because to feel this vulnerable means I’m alive.”
Still curious and want to learn more? Brown is also the author of several great books including Daring Greatly: How the Courage to Be Vulnerable Transforms the Way We Live, Love, Parent, and Lead.
My name is James Rothman, and I’m from Denver, Colorado. I invested $193,000 worth of USDT into HyperVerse formally known as HyperFund/HyperNation, believing it to be a legitimate opportunity. It wasn’t until later that I discovered it was a Ponzi scheme. As a full-time investor, I was devastated by the loss and felt immense regret for trusting HyperVerse with my hard earned money.
While grappling with the aftermath, I came across Morphohack Cyber Service through a news article about funds recovered from the HyperVerse Ponzi scheme. After researching, I found them to be a genuine and trustworthy crypto recovery team. I reached out to them, and they promptly guided me through the entire process via their email ( Morphohack@Cyberservices . com ) . Thanks to their expertise and dedication, my USDT was fully recovered.

I never thought I’d fall for a scam—especially not one that seemed so polished and promising. Like many others, I was lured into the Hyperverse investment scheme by glossy presentations, glowing reviews, and what seemed to be a legitimate opportunity in the booming world of crypto. I invested $315,000, a large chunk of my life savings, convinced that I was securing my financial future. But soon, things started to feel off—withdrawals were blocked, support went silent, and I realized I had been conned.
It was devastating. I was angry at myself and ashamed to even tell my friends or family. I spent months trying to recover my funds, reporting to every authority I could find, but nothing worked. Just when I had nearly given up hope, I stumbled upon SPYHOST CYBERSECURITY COMPANY in an online forum dedicated to scam recovery.
Skeptical but desperate, I reached out. From the first email, they treated me with respect and compassion. They had a professional team that understood blockchain tracing, digital forensics, and how these scams operate. They walked me through their process—gathering transaction data, tracing wallets, and working with international partners to follow the money trail.
It wasn’t instant, but within 72 hours , I got an email that brought me to tears: they had successfully recovered a significant portion of my lost crypto—$300,000 was retrieved and transferred to my secure wallet.
SPYHOST CYBERSECURITY COMPANY didn’t just recover my money—they helped me restore a sense of justice and peace of mind. They also educated me on how to avoid similar scams in the future. If you’ve been a victim of Hyperverse or any other crypto fraud, don’t suffer in silence. There is real help out there as you can do well to contact SPYHOST through:
