Episode 21: Why Vulnerability Hangovers Are Worth the Risk

Wouldn’t life be so much easier if curing a vulnerability hangover just took an Advil and a greasy meal? If you’ve ever felt shame or fear bubble up inside of you after opening up to someone, this episode is for you. Believe me, we’ve all been there.

I discuss what it means to have a vulnerability hangover, how to heal from it, why being vulnerable is so important, and some tips on moving forward with vulnerability (despite the risk of a hangover). I share quotes and advice from Dr. Brené Brown, a renowned shame and vulnerability researcher. While scary and intimidating, vulnerability allows us to build connections and show our true and honest selves.

I hope this episode will open your eyes and allow you to see all of the benefits of embracing vulnerability. It takes courage and bravery to take emotional risks!

As always, if you enjoyed this episode, please subscribe, share, and leave a star rating and review. Thanks!

Vision boarded too hard and then got nervous about Vision boarded too hard and then got nervous about speaking in front of 100 people lol. 😅

What an honor to speak to students at the @sbplibrary as a panelist for @jlsantabarbara’s Career Exploration Fair. 👏🏻 

I wish I would’ve attended an event like this when I was in high school! Very impressed by the students’ thoughtful questions as well. 💓

Do you believe in vision boards? I try to make one every year now! 🎉

The dreamiest date night spot: @sanysidroranch 💞 The dreamiest date night spot: @sanysidroranch 💞

What a fun night sipping cocktails, eating delicious bites, and listening to live music at The Speakeasy. Great news for my locals, longtime menu favorites like the mac & cheese and baby back ribs are on the menu too! 👏🏻 

Can you believe how beautiful and charming this spot is? Also, no, I’m not over those desserts. 😍
