In today’s episode we are discussing vulnerability, why it’s crucial for healthy relationships, examples of how to be vulnerable, and what vulnerability isn’t. It’s a difficult habit to engage, and most of us do everything in our power to avoid it, but it helps to make us so much stronger and able to enjoy deeper, more meaningful connections. Vulnerability can be a real super power, one might say! So let’s dive right in.
