Obsessed with Vulnerability ft. Rev. Leslie Peters, RN (The Brené Brown Inspired Series)

What is vulnerability?Brené Brown, author of Atlas of the Heart (a book we are obsessed with), defines and describes vulnerability as:The emotion that we experience during times of uncertainty, risk, and emotional exposure.In our culture, we tend to equate vulnerability with weakness. We see it as a character flaw, something to be ashamed of and hidden away. But, vulnerability is, in fact, a sign of courage. It takes great courage to reveal our authentic selves to others, open ourselves up and be vulnerable. We tap into a wellspring of love and connection that allows us to form meaningful relationships when we do so. In this episode, Rev. Leslie Peters is here to share how she was able to see her authentic self through vulnerability. The abuse and neglect she experienced throughout her life left her feeling disconnected. This led her to a lifelong practice to give others what she needed. Uncovering the true meaning of love through her practice, Rev. Leslie felt the need to release her ‘armor,’ allowing herself to step into her courage, live with an open heart, and find power in vulnerability. For Rev. Leslie, being vulnerable is also the ability to stand and own your truth regardless of the consequences.Rev. Leslie, the Heart Nurturer, has been helping people for 32 years. She is a registered nurse, an ordained minister, a trauma and resilience expert, and a transformational conversationalist. She is on a mission to create a safe space for trauma survivors to unapologetically see, accept, and reconnect with their true selves.What You Will Learn From This Episode02:53 - What Rev.
