important<00:03:10.440> and<00:03:10.560> lay<00:03:10.799> the<00:03:10.920> code<00:03:11.159> out<00:03:11.319> for important and lay the code out for important and lay the code out for everyone<00:03:11.879> to<00:03:12.159> see<00:03:13.159> so<00:03:13.360> where<00:03:13.519> I<00:03:13.680> started<00:03:14.519> was everyone to see so where I started was everyone to see so where

that connection is why we're<00:03:23.000> here<00:03:24.000> it's<00:03:24.159> what<00:03:24.360> gives<00:03:24.640> purpose<00:03:24.920> and we're here it's what gives purpose and we're here it's what gives purpose and meaning<00:03:25.360> to<00:03:25.560> our meaning to our meaning to our lives<00:03:27.319> this<00:03:27.480> is<00:03:27.799> this<00:03:27.920> is<00:03:28.080> what<00:03:28.200> it's<00:03:28.360> all lives this is this is what it's all lives this is this is what it's all about<00:03:28.920> it<00:03:29.040> doesn't<00:03:29.239> matter<00:03:29.439>

to<00:03:36.680> feel to feel to feel connected<00:03:39.040> is<00:03:40.200> neurobiologically<00:03:41.200> that's connected is neurobiologically that's connected is neurobiologically that's how<00:03:41.519> we're<00:03:41.680> wired<00:03:42.080> it's<00:03:42.280> why<00:03:42.439> we're<00:03:42.720> here<00:03:43.400> so<00:03:43.560> I how we're wired it's why we're here so I how

I'm going to start thought you know what I'm going to start with with with connection<00:03:47.120> well<00:03:47.280> you<00:03:47.360> know<00:03:47.640> that<00:03:48.400> that connection well you know that that connection well you know that that situation<00:03:49.040> where<00:03:49.200> you<00:03:49.319> get<00:03:49.439> an<00:03:49.599> evaluation situation where you get an evaluation situation where you get an evaluation from<00:03:50.360> your<00:03:50.760> boss<00:03:51.760> and<00:03:52.000> she<00:03:52.159> tells<00:03:52.400> you<00:03:52.560> 37 from your boss and she tells you 37 from your boss and she tells you 37 things<00:03:53.239> that<00:03:53.360> you<00:03:53.439> do<00:03:53.599> really<00:03:53.920> awesome<00:03:54.280> and things that you do really awesome and things that you do really awesome and one<00:03:54.640> thing<00:03:54.840> that<00:03:54.920> you<00:03:55.079> can't<00:03:55.280> you<00:03:55.360> know<00:03:55.480> an one thing that you can't you know an one thing that you can't you know an opportunity<00:03:56.079> for opportunity for opportunity for growth<00:03:58.200> um<00:03:59.200> and<00:03:59.360> all<00:03:59.480> you<00:03:59.879> think<00:04:00.040> about<00:04:00.239> is growth um and all you think about is growth um and all you think about is that<00:04:00.560> opportunity<00:04:00.959> for<00:04:01.159> growth<00:04:01.920> right<00:04:02.840> well that opportunity for growth right well that opportunity for growth right well apparently<00:04:03.840> this<00:04:03.959> is<00:04:04.120> the<00:04:04.239> way<00:04:04.439> my<00:04:04.560> work<00:04:04.760> went apparently this is the way my work went apparently this is the way my work went as<00:04:05.319> well<00:04:05.720> because<00:04:06.280> when<00:04:06.439> you<00:04:06.760> ask<00:04:07.079> people as well because when you ask people as well because when you ask people about<00:04:07.840> love<00:04:08.840> they<00:04:09.000> tell<00:04:09.200> you<00:04:09.439> about about love they tell you about about love they tell you about heartbreak<00:04:10.400> when<00:04:10.519> you<00:04:10.680> ask<00:04:10.959> people<00:04:11.360> about heartbreak when you ask people about heartbreak when you ask people about belonging<00:04:13.120> they'll<00:04:13.319> tell<00:04:13.480> you<00:04:13.640> their<00:04:13.799> most belonging they'll tell you their most belonging they'll tell you their most excruciating<00:04:15.000> experiences<00:04:15.760> of<00:04:15.959> being excruciating experiences of being excruciating experiences of being excluded<00:04:17.160> and<00:04:17.280> when<00:04:17.400> you<00:04:17.560> ask<00:04:17.840> people<00:04:18.199> about excluded and when you ask people about excluded and when you ask people about connection<00:04:19.639> the<00:04:19.759> stories<00:04:20.199> they<00:04:20.320> told<00:04:20.560> me<00:04:20.720> were connection the stories they told me were connection the stories they told me were about about about disconnection<00:04:23.199> so<00:04:23.479> very<00:04:23.840> quickly<00:04:24.160> really disconnection so very quickly really disconnection so very quickly really about<00:04:24.639> six<00:04:24.880> weeks<00:04:25.120> into<00:04:25.360> this<00:04:25.520> research<00:04:26.080> I<00:04:26.240> ran about six weeks into this research I ran about six weeks into this research I ran into<00:04:27.080> this<00:04:27.320> unnamed<00:04:28.000> thing<00:04:28.960> that<00:04:29.199> absolutely into this unnamed thing that absolutely into this unnamed thing that absolutely unraveled unraveled unraveled Connection<00:04:32.240> in<00:04:32.360> a<00:04:32.520> way<00:04:32.680> that<00:04:32.840> I<00:04:32.919> didn't Connection in a way that I didn't Connection in a way that I didn't understand<00:04:33.639> or<00:04:33.800> had<00:04:33.960> never<00:04:34.240> seen<00:04:35.240> and<00:04:35.360> so<00:04:35.560> I understand or had never seen and so I understand or had never seen and so I pulled<00:04:35.960> back<00:04:36.080> out<00:04:36.199> of<00:04:36.320> the<00:04:36.440> research<00:04:36.800> and pulled back out of the research and pulled back out of the research and thought<00:04:37.120> I<00:04:37.199> need<00:04:37.320> to<00:04:37.440> figure<00:04:37.680> out<00:04:37.880> what<00:04:38.039> this thought I need to figure out what this thought I need to figure out what this is<00:04:39.520> and<00:04:39.880> it<00:04:40.000> turned<00:04:40.280> out<00:04:40.479> to<00:04:40.639> be is and it turned out to be is and it turned out to be shame<00:04:43.280> and<00:04:43.400> shame<00:04:43.680> is<00:04:43.840> really<00:04:44.080> easily shame and shame is really easily shame and shame is really easily understood<00:04:45.160> as<00:04:45.280> the<00:04:45.400> fear<00:04:45.720> of<00:04:46.320> disconnection understood as the fear of disconnection understood as the fear of disconnection is<00:04:47.479> there<00:04:47.720> something<00:04:48.160> about<00:04:48.560>

my lost um the fight but probably won my lost um the fight but probably won my life<00:14:17.880> back<00:14:18.880> and<00:14:19.000> so<00:14:19.279> then<00:14:19.399> I<00:14:19.519> went<00:14:19.720> back<00:14:19.880> into life back and so then I went back into life back and so then I went back into the<00:14:20.240> research<00:14:20.639> and<00:14:20.759> spent<00:14:21.000> the<00:14:21.120> next<00:14:21.320> couple the research and spent the next couple the research and spent the next couple of<00:14:21.720> years<00:14:22.560> really<00:14:22.880> trying<00:14:23.199> to<00:14:23.720> understand of years really trying to understand of years really trying to understand what<00:14:24.199> they<00:14:24.399> the<00:14:24.839> wholehearted<00:14:25.839> um<00:14:26.199> what<00:14:26.399> the what they the wholehearted um what the what they the wholehearted um what the choices<00:14:26.880> they<00:14:27.000> were<00:14:27.160> making<00:14:27.519> and<00:14:27.880> and<00:14:28.199> what choices they were making and and what choices they were making and and what what<00:14:28.839> is<00:14:29.320> what<00:14:29.519> what<00:14:29.639> are<00:14:29.759> we<00:14:29.920> doing<00:14:30.199> with what is what what are we doing with what is what what are we doing with vulnerability<00:14:31.759> why<00:14:32.560> do<00:14:32.720> we<00:14:32.880> struggle<00:14:33.279> with<00:14:33.399> it vulnerability why do we struggle with it vulnerability why do we struggle with it so<00:14:33.680> much<00:14:33.880> am<00:14:34.000> I<00:14:34.120> alone<00:14:34.440> in<00:14:34.560> struggling<00:14:34.959> with so much am I alone in struggling with so much am I alone in struggling with vulnerability<00:14:37.560> no<00:14:38.560> so<00:14:38.920> this<00:14:39.040> is<00:14:39.199> what<00:14:39.320> I vulnerability no so this is what I vulnerability no so this is what I learned<00:14:42.000> we<00:14:42.199> numb learned we numb learned we numb vulnerability<00:14:44.720> when<00:14:44.880> we're<00:14:45.079> waiting<00:14:45.360> for<00:14:45.480> the vulnerability when we're waiting for the vulnerability when we're waiting for the call<00:14:46.399> it<00:14:46.480> was<00:14:46.600> funny<00:14:46.920> I<00:14:47.000> sent<00:14:47.199> something<00:14:47.440> out call it was funny I sent something out call it was funny I sent something out on<00:14:47.800> Twitter<00:14:48.279> and<00:14:48.399> on<00:14:48.600> Facebook<00:14:49.040> that<00:14:49.160> says<00:14:49.480> how on
