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!
