On this episode of Perfectly Broken, we are discussing how vulnerability can be your very own super power. We talk about all the benefits of being vulnerable and how I’ve learned to cultivate it into my greatest strength to build deeper connections, gain accountability and support, and take away the power my deep, dark secrets and insecurities have had over me. This episode goes into my story on how I first found the courage to share my story in a real, vulnerable way and the various ways I strengthened it and utilized it as such a powerful tool for empowerment in my own life. I also include tips, reflections, and nuggets of actionable steps for you to start practicing it in your own life.
