In this episode, I dive deep into the challenges of embracing vulnerability and the difficulty of asking for help. Reflecting on my journey, I share my lifelong struggle with feeling like a burden when asking for help despite knowing the importance of community support. I explore the societal and personal barriers that make it hard to be vulnerable and recount a heartfelt story during our mediation process, highlighting the emotional complexities of seeking support from friends and not receiving what I hoped.
I emphasize the importance of finding safe spaces and supportive people who can handle vulnerability, while acknowledging that only some have the capacity to provide the needed support. I encourage you to foster genuine connections, allowing yourself and others to express and navigate emotions freely. Ultimately, I advocate for the strength found in community and the significance of supporting one another through life's challenges.
Throughout this episode, I hope to be "a little explosion of hope", inspiring you to embrace vulnerability and seek the support you deserve.
