Episode 28: Safe to Be You: Vulnerability, Healing, and the Power of Authentic Connection

Guest: Jamie Tedrick-Monroe, Founder of Safe2Talk2 — Counselor, Life Coach, Author, Creator, and Connector

Host: Stephanie Ann Webb

Hello my Lovelies!

Jamie Tedrick-Monroe joins me to talk about what it really means to live and lead with authenticity. From her work as a counselor and life coach to her creative spirit as a tye-dye maker and grandmother, Jamie embodies what it means to show up fully as yourself — no filters, no performance, just presence.

Together, we explore how being authentic isn’t about fixing or selling to people — it’s about the freedom to be who you are and allowing that alignment to naturally overflow into your relationships, your work, and your impact.

We talk about:

• The power of vulnerability and how it creates safety and connection
• Overcoming imposter syndrome and the fear of being “too much” or “not enough”
• How judgment and comparison keep us small
• Healing the nervous system and finding safety in our bodies
• The difference between being “authentic” and being unkind
• Leaving fear and shame behind to step into love, unity, and personal truth
• Why healing isn’t about rules or perfection — it’s about presence, compassion, and curiosity

Jamie reminds us that authenticity invites trust, connection, and transformation — not just for ourselves but for others, too.

This episode is a tender reminder that we’re all human, and when we lead with authenticity, we give others permission to do the same.
