Vulnerability is the new superpower

​I’m writing from my back porch today.
My cat is next to me, sleeping.

Birds are chirping. Insects buzzing.

I love the sounds of late summer, but they also make me wistful.

These are the waning days of summer.
This time of year is always bittersweet.
Saying goodbye to summer is never easy.
Endings are always hard.
 


This wistful tone has me thinking about vulnerability.


You hear people talking about it all the time – in the marketing world, on talent shows, and in books.



Give us MORE.
Show us who you REALLY are.



And this may feel like a whole lot of pressure.

 You don’t want to overexpose yourself. You don’t need to make a spectacle of your life.



Yet, you’re also curious: what does vulnerability look like for you? How do you get there?
 


Here's one thing I know:


From life’s ashes always comes a gift of perspective.
 Challenging times, turning points, and loss are portals to our truth.
 And our truth contains healing medicine for ourselves and others.
 


You have an opportunity to transform your pain into power.
 How to do this?
 Start by sharing your story. 
Your story is healing medicine.
 Your audience is waiting for you.



If you…

stay silent

push your grief down

don’t validate your loss

skip over the insights from your life lessons
 


You will…

block creativity and passion
stay hidden

pinch off abundance

stifle ideas and inspiration

experience a lack of fulfillment

burn out

​possibly transfer your pain onto clients


deny others the gift of your experience

Being vulnerable - in a deliberate way - helps you avoid these risks.

 You don't have to do it all at once. You can ease into it gracefully.
 

Start by getting your story out.

This will help you…

• glean new awareness & insights
• reclaim your power
• experience a greater feeling of fulfillment and wholeness
• increase confidence
• transform your pain into triumph
• truly rise up and celebrate ALL the pieces of your life
• gain a new belief in yourself and your dream, 
• and offer your experience as healing medicine for others.

Are you standing at the edge of your story?
