Vulnerability is the willingness to show emotion or allow one's weakness to be seen/known, as well as the willingness to risk being hurt or attacked. I don't know about you, but I think that sounds awful. In this solo episode, I reflect on vulnerability as a whole and share the themes that Brene Brown (Author, Professor, Public Speaker, & Goddess) speaks of in her TED talk "The Power of Vulnerability". These themes include:  - not being afraid of your own imperfections - letting go of who others think you should be and stepping into who you actually are - being kind to yourself before being kind to others - connection is one the greatest parts of the human connection   ⚡️ Song of the Week: A-O-K//Tai Verdes ⚡️ Netflix Movie Rec: Five Feet Apart ⚡️ New Music Artist: Bahamas ⚡️ Applicable Challenge: Reflect on your own vulnerability If you like what you hear, please share with the people you love!!
