Choosing Vulnerability Over Armor: Healing After Loss, Friendship Ruptures & Radical Accountability

I share the story of losing a friendship—and how, because of my healing work and past experiences, I made the conscious choice to open my heart instead of closing it. Rather than armoring up, I stayed present with the grief, the tenderness, and the truth.I also offer heartfelt apologies to two past friendships where I didn’t show up well—where I caused harm, acted from wounds, and needed to take responsibility. This episode is about vulnerability as a practice, not a performance. About accountability without self-abandonment. About choosing love even when it hurts.If you’ve ever lost a friend, navigated shame, or stood at the crossroads between closing down or opening deeper—this one is for you.Have a question for Elisabeth?
