It used to be that showing vulnerability meant weakness. It was considered de rigueur to maintain stoicism, a stiff upper lip, that showing emotions and saying how you truly felt was exposing some sort of flaw in your character. We now know that isn't the case at all and in fact, when we let others know what challenges and difficulties we are going through and how we are dealing with them, it gives others permission to do the same. Authenticity is actually your strength!
I'm not talking about having a group Pity Party, however, what I am talking about is the strength that comes from knowing this is tough, this is a challenge but I have the inner strength, the resilience to get through it.
In this solo episode I share the things that formed my inner strength growing up and a story for modern times: when things around us are chaotic or people are behaving badly online or in person, it's possible to show inner strength to not get sucked into the drama. To hold yourself in your highest and greatest good. To have strength knowing things will get better. And to keep taking action towards that.
