Episode 224 – The Gift of Vulnerability

This podcast was fueled by an interview I heard with vulnerability expert Brene Brown while driving home after grocery shopping. It so intrigued me that I then listen to a TED Talk  she gave on the price of invulnerability and the value of expanding our perception of vulnerability because of the opportunities for growth doing so  provides.

We all can think of situations that make us feel vulnerable. But did you know that men and woman may deal with this feeling differently? I didn’t. Brown’s research also helped me understand differences in male and female responses when something happens to our animals that makes us feel vulnerable. But even better, her work demonstrates how we can use vulnerability as a portal to a feeling that will benefit us (and I would add our animals) much, much more.
