Brené with America Ferrera on Identity and Integrated Leadership, Part 1 of 2

Hi, everyone. I'm Brene Brown, and this is Dare to Lead. Oh, man. Welcome to the most incredible conversation. I am talking to America Ferrera, actor, director, producer, activist, leader, extraordinaire. She she just kinda defies categories, which is both beautiful and I would say intentional after talking to her. I learned so much in this conversation. I'm still thinking about it. I've wanted to talk to her for so long. And once we got started, I didn't want it to end. So we're making this into a two part episode, really about not just about leading, but about power and integration and wholeness and kind of the source of where the source of our conviction about who we are. I'm so grateful that you're here to be a part of this. We're gonna dig in. And at the end of part two, I'll talk to you a little bit about how I see her embodying so many of the concepts I've written about, especially this concept of integration for many years, but you just don't see it. You don't see it living and breathing all the time like you do in this interview. So, again, so glad y'all are here. Avoiding your unfinished home projects because you're not sure where to start?
