The Power in Vunerability

Season 3, Ep. 22

In this episode, I would like to delve into the raw beauty and strength found in embracing vulnerability.

Drawing wisdom from groundbreaking books:

"Atlas of the Heart" by Brené Brown and

"Manifest" by Roxie Nafousi,

To be vulnerable is to be on a journey of self-reflection and growth.

Through engaging discussions and personal anecdotes, the neuroscience of vulnerability, the barriers of shame and fear, and the importance of community support in our journey toward authenticity and connection.
