Episode 11 | Let’s Get Real: The Awkward, Messy Magic of Being Vulnerable
Manage episode 469237108 series 3639813
Vulnerability feels risky. It feels awkward. Sometimes, it feels impossible. But it’s also where the magic happens.
In this episode, I share a deeply personal story about one Christmas where fear of vulnerability left me trapped between wanting to protect my peace and not wanting to disappoint my family. We dive into:
💔 Why being vulnerable with family is often the hardest
💡 How avoiding vulnerability creates more pain than the truth ever could
📊 What research (and real life) says about vulnerability in relationships and the workplace
✨ How to set boundaries without drowning in guilt
❤️ The “Plus One” approach to embracing vulnerability in small, manageable steps
If you’ve ever bailed on family plans out of fear, dodged hard conversations, or felt stuck between pleasing others and protecting your peace—this one’s for you.
💡 And don’t forget—next week’s episode features special guest Charles Coulter, a faith-based marriage counselor, who will share his insights on communication, healing, and how vulnerability strengthens relationships.
