Have you ever felt like you had to change who you truly were in order to make others comfortable?

My friend Angel has. Angel is real, authentic, and a lovely friend who loves her well exactly as they are. Today, we are peeling back the layers of Angel’s story as she openly talks about her struggle with being vulnerable for the sake of sparing others.

Through her story, she shares how overcoming the desire to hold back actually leads to deeper connection. She also shares about the value of healthy boundaries, and how to love others right where they are. Regardless of your background or personality, my hope is that through Angel’s story, you will feel encouraged to be known for who you are and love others the same.
