"Stripped"

05/14/2026

Yesterday marked my 30-year sobriety birthday, and I wanted to celebrate by sharing one gratitude for each decade.

1. My sobriety will always be the most important thing I do, because it allows me to fully love—and be loved by—the people who matter most in my life. I’m grateful for it every single day, even when it feels like a street fight.

2. Five years ago, a woman approached me in an airport and thanked me for writing about sobriety as a superpower. She said it helped her get sober. I’m grateful for all the people whose words helped me along the way. Before boarding her flight, she asked if I’d accept a gift from a stranger. I said yes. She handed me her first AA chip. I carry it in my purse every day. We were never strangers.

3. My favorite line from the AA Big Book reads: “That is the miracle of it. We are not fighting it, neither are we avoiding temptation. We feel as though we have been placed in a position of neutrality—safe and protected. We have not even sworn off. Instead, the problem has been removed. It does not exist for us. We are neither cocky nor afraid. That is our experience. That is how we react so long as we keep in fit spiritual condition.”

Understanding and keeping in fit spiritual condition has been a decades-long challenge for me. I wrote about it in the final chapter of Strong Ground and I thought I’d share that full chapter with you today as a “thank you.” To read, go to the home page of brenebrown.com.

Today I am sober af and I am grateful. ❤️

To all the clients who helped me fill this room with things to bring my daughter home to,
To the ones who paid my rent,
To the ones who started with me in my home, went through my recovery,
And the ones who travel to my current space…
To the ones who share, like, refer, and rebook so that we could make a place of our own a reality,

THANK YOU.

You trust me with their bodies, minds, and spirits.
I trust you with mine too, and your impact strengthens me everyday to be able to show up and share love like this.
You may not know it, but you change me.
Mothering is hard. Grieving is hard. Doing the work is hard. That’s where healing happens.

The village makes us stronger. Thanks for being part of our family.

And just a reality check, if you make it all the way to the end, everyday is not shiny and positive affirmations.
Sometimes the work is in the hurt and the grit. But we continue to show up, because where pain stops, growth begins.

You cannot heal what you refuse to face.

Trust is not blind optimism. It’s the willingness to stay present with the truth, even when it’s uncomfortable. To slow down enough to listen to your body, your patterns, your exhaustion, your intuition — and to respond with honesty instead of avoidance.

The work is not always visible.
Sometimes it looks like rest. Boundaries. Accountability. Grief. Stillness. Starting over.

My journey and this practice lives in the space between surrender and strength — honoring both the light and the shadow while returning to what is real, rooted, and true.

The beauty of art and artistry is that meaning is all in the eye of the beholder.

Your session with me means something because I’m not just doing work.
Here, we build relationships, trust, and we grow together.
EVERY show of your support, every booking, each referral, every repost and share adds to me.

And I’m committed to pouring all of that good energy back into you.

Share your goals with me, and we will carve out time to get there.

What is a mother? It’s so many-layered, just like each of us. The complexity of motherhood has shaped my life and my reality in profound ways, but it no longer defines me. The best part of mothering is that I get to share love, authentically, fully, and be loved in the process. And we ALL have the capacity to do this.

This Mother’s Day, even if you don’t have children, you deserve to be celebrated.
Whether you’re longing for children and are desperately waiting, have lost them and are grieving, chose not to have them and pour into others in a different way, or whether you really are a mom doing her best to guide your little ones with what you know, this one’s for YOU.

Winner will be announced 5/11!

In the meantime, gift cards are available for purchase, and I look forward to celebrating all the parts of you.

You can hold it together on the outside
and still feel hijacked on the inside.

This is where we slow it down and bring you back.

I most often use these when I feel rushed, during unexpected shifts, when I’ve just experienced confrontation, or in over my head with screen time.

I share what I know and what I’ve experienced works, scientifically and from my own healing.

Let’s nerd out about nervous system talk, or don’t talk at all. Either way, you’re safe here.
