EP 15 - The Power of Vulnerability

Send us Fan MailI had the idea for this episode many weeks ago. I remember thinking “I should write this or record this right away so I can speak from the moment.”  The thought of that, of sharing how I was really feeling in that moment scared the shit out of me. And so what did I do??  I avoided it. I found all these other things I needed to do first. I had to finish the Intuitive Eating series, I needed to get my marketing efforts squared away for the workshops and 5 day challenge this month. I needed to focus on providing quality care for my clients. I needed to finish the book I was reading, then that book turned into another book, which turned into another book (side note, I’ve read likely 6 books since I had the idea for this episode).Well here it is a week before this is supposed to go live for you all and I’m finally writing it. Why was I so afraid of producing this episode? Because being vulnerable, as powerful as it is, is shit your pants scary for most of us. Looking at myself this seems odd. I’m great at being vulnerable. I’m great at holding space while others are vulnerable.  But every now and then I want to poke my head in the sand and pretend the world doesn’t exist.I also wasn’t sure what I was going to say or how the episode would flow. Did I want to share some my deepest inner most thoughts and feelings with complete strangers?  How would my friends and family who listen to this react? Maybe it’s better I just stick to Brene Brown’s work on vulnerability.  Well then why even do this episode, just tell your listeners to listen to Brene’s Tedtalk. You see, the thoughts kept coming. And they kept me from doing something I knew had the power to change my life and potentially yours.So here I am. I’ve worked through those thoughts and feelings. I’ve practiced intentional thoughts to get me to a point where I’m writing this out and now recording it.Mentioned on the show:Brene Brown TedTalkIf you have questions you'd like to have answered in future episodes, please email me [email protected] the Diet infoDitch the Diet ApplicationAm I an Emotional Eater Quiz5 Day Mindset Reset RegistrationWorkshop Emotional Eating: Have your cake and eat it, too  RegistrationWorkshop Mindset: Get Out of Your Own Way  Registration Support the showLet's Connect!Want to receive weekly(ish) emails from us?
