Why Vulnerability Feels So Hard (And How to Open Up Anyway)

One of the toughest things in the world – especially for women who have had to learn to be strong – is being vulnerable.  When you’ve spent your life building up walls just to protect yourself, we fight with every nerve not to take those defenses down!  But being vulnerable can also be a gift. It’s real. It’s in the moment. It’s unapologetically you. It creates connection – not only within ourselves, but with those who love us and who want to love every inch of our bare souls.  So today I’m getting vulnerable about vulnerability. What holds us back from being fully open? What do we risk when we withhold our true selves? And what rewards are waiting for us when we do learn how to embrace our vulnerability?  FREE RESOURCES: • Join Erikas list (https://erika-cramer.mykajabi.com/opt-in-2) - get exclusive masterclasses and personal notes from her via email weekly • Are you ready to CHANGE your life?  Watch the FREE training here!
