Dr. Jake on The Daring Way™: "Brené Brown's work, probably more than any other person's, has been particularly transformative in my own life. She has masterfully taken massively important life issues — shame, vulnerability, values, identity — and made they amazingly accessible, yet without losing their weightiness. Doing this work with clients is equally powerful. I have watched men and women who have lived their lives under the darkness of shame finally find the courage to come into the light. I'm excited to offer Brené's work through this new format!"
