Atlas of the 💖 Ch 1

After listening to episodes of Unlocking Us with Brené Brown last month, I was drooling to get my hands on a copy of Atlas of the Heart-and anticipating chapter playlists hinted at from these book launch episodes.

I got a copy of the book for Christmas (thanks, Mom!), and dove in the next day. I love how Dr. Brown peppers in music references in the podcast, her books and talks. She’s often called music a “thin place” where we can experience deep connection and emotional expression.

I’ve been inspired to start a blog and playlist series while reading this book, and hope you may join in reading and listening. My choices will be skewed toward my personal preferences and background; I welcome song suggestions you may have which resonate with each chapter’s emotions!

Chapter 1 emotions include stress, overwhelm, anxiety, worry, avoidance, excitement, dread, fear, and vulnerability.
