Gabrielle Union on Embracing Vulnerability, Moving Through Creative Blocks, and No Longer Going 50/50
#281: In this episode, I sit down with the amazing Gabrielle Union—actress, producer, entrepreneur, and bestselling author—about what leaning into vulnerability really looks like.
From fertility to relationships to creating a life full of love and creativity, Gabrielle shares the lessons she wishes she’d known sooner—and wisdom to inspire you to get more curious and vulnerable.
We also talk about:
- How reading fosters creativity and curiosity
- Why the on-screen adaptations of your favorite reads often differ from the book
- How to express creativity without worrying about who will consume it
- What Gabrielle would tell her 30-year old self
