How to Become More Vulnerable in Your Life: Let’s Get Exposed!

I’ve been digging very deep these past few weeks on truly embracing my vulnerabilities, and allowing myself to just show up in the world as my imperfectly perfect self. It’s been an interesting ride so far, even as someone who thought she had done all “the work” necessary to be content with who she is (hint: that’s me).

I’ve come to realize that there is no end to this game of personal growth. It’s an ongoing process, with peaks, valleys and potholes.

I have always been a firm believer that regression begets development, meaning that we have to take two steps back to go three steps forward. I remind myself of this when I start to slip into a state of despair or sadness around something that has unexpectedly resurfaced in my life.

A.K.A. – Something that makes me feel vulnerable.

It feels very similar to when I was a kid and I would trip, fall and skin my knee. I would run home to cry and patch it up, then back out again until the next tumble. I’ve been skinning my knee daily on the hard concrete of life, and I would be lying if I said it didn’t hurt.

But if I stay inside to avoid the hurts how will I ever get to play?

So as much as I feel like I’m going backward, and with how horribly uncomfortable this all feels to me, I trust that I am on the path of most resistance to somewhere great.

So with that in mind, I invite you to watch this brief video of me exposing myself in a way you haven’t seen to date. It’s the beginning of something big for me, and I hope you will be inspired to come along for the ride.

Watch it here.

This email officially kicks off a Vulnerability Challenge. I dare you to expose yourself in some way throughout the week.

It’s time to stop hiding in the dark shadows where you can’t be seen or heard.

I invite you to join me and share this with anyone you feel could benefit from getting vulnerable!
