Vulnerability in Action - Small Acts, Big Courage

from Perfectly Broken · host Dani Stedman

In this episode, I'm showing up exactly as I am— raw, real,and in recovery.After a challenging surgery, I was forced to pause, rest, and truly practice what I preach about honoring the body’s wisdom. Instead of a regular episode, I’m sharing the incredibly honest, unscripted talk I gave on the final night of the Soulfully Seen Vulnerability Summit— no notes, no makeup, just me being fully human. This episode is an invitation to reflect on your own relationship with vulnerability, authenticity, and self-trust.Note: Soulfully Seen – Turning Vulnerability into Your Superpower, my 8-week online group program has an updated launch date of July 10th. Email me at [email protected] if you’re interested in a partial scholarship.Join Soulfully Seen - Turning Vulnerability into Your Superpower⁠⁠⁠ What you’ll hear:Honoring Your Body’s Timing: You’ll be reminded that it's okay to pause, rest, and listen when your body asks for more care than your plans allow.Vulnerability in Real Life: You'll see how letting go of perfection and showing up as you are can be the most powerful way to connect.Body Shame and Reclamation: You’ll be encouraged to reflect on your relationship with your body and begin releasing shame you were never meant to carry.Trust & Safety: Vulnerability isn’t about oversharing—it’s about choosing who has earned the right to hear your story.Myth-Busting: We unpack common myths like “vulnerability is weakness” or “I have to do this healing alone”— and why they’re keeping you stuck.Emotional Reactions: If your emotions are coming out as road rage, irritability, or shutting down, you’re not broken— your nervous system is asking for support.Healing Through Play: Reconnect with your inner child and remember the power of laughter, movement, and imagination as medicine.⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Join Perfectly Broken: Path to Power Membership ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Fill out the Contact Me to Work Together⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Soulfully Seen Women's Retreat ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠(September 7-10, 2025)Let’s Connect⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@danistedman⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ | ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@⁠⁠⁠⁠theperfectlybrokenpodcast⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠
