PART 2 (PART 1 EPISODE #14)

"Vulnerability is the birthplace of love, belonging, joy, courage, empathy, and creativity” - Brene Brown (2012)

Emotional vulnerability is most typically felt as anxiety due to the fear of the future, which is what anxiety really is: worrying about the FUTURE.

Whether that's fear of being rejected, shamed, or judged as inadequate and the underlying reason people avoid it is to protect themselves from getting hurt.

It may show up as passive aggressiveness, anger, silent treatment, pride or even aggression.

In 2012 Brene Brown defined emotional vulnerability as “uncertainty, risk, and emotional exposure”.

Be open to sharing what you feel and taking those risks, WHEN your intuition tells you that the risk is well worth it!

Vulnerability is a strength, and that is POWERFUL!

Listen to learn how to embrace your own vulnerability and of those you love.

Each episode will end with a practice area for you to take on and integrate with your life!
