Connection: letting people in

I have always been the one to throw the first punch and told myself that was a skill. Detachment. Very healthy, very evolved, right? It took me until my late twenties to admit that most of it was just hitting first so I couldn't be hit. And the thing about walking around in a suit of armor is that it delivers the exact thing it was built to prevent.This is the episode where I try to work out how you actually let someone see you. Not whether you should, we all know we should. How. I talk about why the fear of rejection is really self-rejection. How you start with something small and watch what they do with it. And most importantly letting yourself be loved without flinching. I also make the case that we have been using the wrong word this whole time. Vulnerable comes from the Latin word for wound. Intimacy comes from the word for innermost. If the self-worth piece of this episode hits, go back and listen to Self-worth.Follow me on Instagram!
