In this episode of The Friendship Tour, we get real about vulnerability — what it means, why it’s terrifying, and why it’s absolutely essential for deep, lasting friendships.

I share a personal story about opening up to Mia during my journey with infertility, and how her response showed me what true friendship looks like in times of pain and uncertainty. Her words offered more than comfort and understanding — they offered hope and a path forward.

We also talk about the deeper truth of vulnerability: it's not just sharing a story or a struggle — it's letting yourself be seen for who you really are. And that can be scary. Because if people see the real you and walk away, it hurts in a very real way.

But here’s the flip side: if someone sees the real you and stays — listens, embraces, supports — that’s when friendship deepens. That’s when connection gets real.

We explore why vulnerability isn’t weakness — it’s courage. It’s how you find your people. And if someone rejects the real you? That tells you everything you need to know. This episode is for anyone who’s ever wondered if they’re too much, not enough, or just afraid to let the mask drop. We’re here to say: it’s worth the risk.
