#267: Vulnerability & Receiving Go Hand in Hand

In this "Monday mindset'' episode, I am sharing my thoughts on vulnerability and receiving and how the two truly go hand in hand. Vulnerability is the courage to allow ourselves to be seen.  When we are in a constant state of deflection, perfectionism or trying to do it alone, we are literally blocking any opportunity to receive.  This is keeping us isolated in our story and not open to receiving and the process of receiving is literally how we expand and grow. 

In today’s episode we discuss:1) Vulnerability is not winning or losing; it’s having the courage to show up and be seen when we have no control over the outcome. Vulnerability is not weakness, it is our greatest act of courage...Brene Brown. It involves courage, strength and not being attached to the outcome or the results that we are creating.  Being vulnerable means that we are open to asking for help, support or guidance to move ourselves to the next stage in our life or business. 2) When we don’t allow ourselves to receive it can be for a number of reasons such as feelings of lack, unworthiness or feeling like there is no one else to support us on our journey. 3) When we fully receive compliments, money or anything, we are allowing ourselves to expand and receive more.  At all times we are either growing and expanding or contracting. A huge part of this process is whether we are allowing ourselves to be vulnerable and receive what is available for us.
