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.
