Ballroom State of Mind

131. Vulnerability Hangover


Listen Later

Have you ever felt raw, exposed, or even regretful after a competition, showcase, or intense lesson—no matter how well it went? That’s what Brené Brown calls a vulnerability hangover.

In this episode, I unpack what it means, how it shows up for dancers, and why it’s actually a sign of courage, not weakness.

You’ll hear real examples from lessons, coaching, and competitions, plus practical ways to process those tender feelings with compassion.

Vulnerability isn’t something to “fix”—it’s proof that you’re brave enough to keep growing.
