Season 1/Episode 5 - The Soft Power of Vulnerability
Description
In today’s episode, we dive into the soft power of vulnerability — an often misunderstood concept. I’ll answer a listener’s question: “What does vulnerability look like to you? How does it show up for you?” This episode explores the delicate yet powerful nature of vulnerability and how it can reshape our careers, relationships, and self-image.
We’ll talk about:
How vulnerability is not weakness, but an essential part of growth and self-acceptance.
How our self-identity shapes how we view vulnerability — and why it feels risky for many of us.
A personal story about grief, authenticity, and the importance of being vulnerable in front of our loved ones.
How embracing vulnerability leads to connection, inner peace, and unconditional self-acceptance.
Key Takeaways:
Vulnerability is presence, not performance.
Vulnerability connects us to others — and to ourselves.
Self-acceptance is the root of true strength.
It's okay not to be okay, and embracing your vulnerability is a step toward healing.
