Sessions for the Soul

Ep. 27 Vulnerability Hangovers & Telling the Truth


Listen Later

In this cozy, honest, coffee-shop-style episode of Sessions for the Soul, Kayla and Alicia explore what it really means to be vulnerable, tell the truth when someone asks “How are you?”, and navigate the discomfort that can come with being truly seen.

From vulnerability hangovers and the fear of “oversharing,” to why we’re conditioned to say “I’m fine” when we’re not, this conversation gently unpacks how honesty, community, and being witnessed are essential parts of healing. We reflect on personal experiences with medical challenges, emotional overwhelm, small-town dynamics, and the realization that other people’s opinions are none of your business.

We also dive into:

Why you can’t heal in isolation.
How to practice vulnerability in small, safe ways.
The difference between venting and asking for advice.
Setting boundaries when sharing.
Why kindness (especially in service and medical spaces) matters more than we think

This episode is a reminder that multiple truths can exist at once — you can be grateful and struggling, strong and tired, hopeful and honest. If you’ve ever questioned whether you shared too much, felt the urge to minimize your pain, or longed for deeper connection, this conversation is for you.

✨ Come as you are. You don’t have to be “good” to be worthy of care.
