36. Overcome the Fear of Vulnerability and Unlock Deeper Connections

Speak Honest: Attachment, Trauma, & Heartbreak, Your Guide to Secure Communication

Are you holding back from being truly vulnerable in your relationships out of fear of rejection or being misunderstood?

In this episode of Speak Honest, I dive deep into why vulnerability can feel so terrifying and how avoiding it might be keeping you from the meaningful relationships you truly want. I share practical steps for getting clear on your feelings and needs, allowing yourself to be vulnerable without overwhelming fear, and why embracing discomfort can lead to deeper connection. I even share a personal story about how vulnerability transformed one of my friendships, and how it can do the same for you! Plus, I’m inviting a few listeners to get coached for free on the podcast to help work through their relationship challenges live!
