• Foreboding joy is one of those practically universal experiences that everyone thingks of as something only they do. When we lose our tolerance for vulnerability, joy becomes foreboding.

• Brene Brown Atlas of the Heart p. 215

Joy is the most vulnerable human emotion. If you're afraid to lean into goodnews, wonderful moments, and joy- if you find yourself waiting for the other shoe to drop-you are not alone. It's called "foreboding joy" , and most of us experience it.

When we push away joy, we squander the goodness that we need to build resilience, strength, and courage.
