Welcome to today’s show!

Vulnerability

“Vulnerability smells like rotten eggs, feels like slimy fish, tastes like ash.”

 

WHAT WE’LL LEARN:

 

  • What is Vulnerability? 
  • What events led to Adina knowing she needed to address her own vulnerability.
  • How Adina previously handled vulnerability.
  • What the family motto was in her early days that led to her feeling that being vulnerable was not acceptable.
  • How Adina approaches vulnerability now.
  • What is Adina’s writing process.
  • Through writing we are able to make connections with our former, current, and future selves.
  • How she would use stories as reminders, as protection and prevention.
  • The stories that helped keep you alive when you were young, are not the stories that will help you now.
  • Start to write and then share those stories with others. That’s how we are able to connect with each other.



 Quotes:

 

“I was literally in a fist fight with vulnerability. And I knew at that point that I needed to start working on this.”

 

“Writing is a creative act of internal disruption”
