What We Don’t Say About Medical Vulnerability

Hey Tribe,A new episode of What We Don’t Say is officially live.This one feels especially personal. I’m sharing an experience that required me to sit with vulnerability, discomfort, and some of the emotions we do not always know how—or feel safe enough—to say out loud.Deciding to share this story was not easy, but I believe there is value in allowing ourselves to be seen beyond the lessons we have learned and the polished versions of how we tell them. Sometimes the most meaningful conversations begin when we are willing to admit that an experience affected us, challenged us, or left us feeling more vulnerable than we expected.I felt this moment was worth sharing because I know I am not the only person who has navigated these feelings. My hope is that this episode creates space for you to reflect on your own experiences with a little more compassion, curiosity, and honesty.Episode 4 of What We Don’t Say is available now. I truly look forward to hearing what you think about this one.Thank you for continuing to listen, grow, and say the things we do not always say out loud with me.With love and curiosity,Jarissa E. Greenard, M.A. Ed. This is a public episode. If you would like to discuss this with other subscribers or get access to bonus episodes, visit greenardcollective.substack.com
