In this episode, I am sharing some thoughts on how to embrace vulnerability and where to start.  This one is going to be different than you think because I want to share one question that I ask a lot of my clients when they say where do I start with vulnerability?  This is the question I ask them, “what is one thing or one story you wish you could be more vulnerable with your audience or others about?”  This usually stirs up the gasp, the oh I would love to but what would they think, and all the stories and doubt creep up into your brain.  What if that is exactly where you start?  So in the true fashion of this podcast, I am sharing a story with you that I wish I could be more vulnerable about, so why not do it right here. In today’s episode we discuss:1) My health history is complex.  Health is one of my top values, and it’s important to recognize where in your life it's in or not in alignment with your values. 2)  Holding onto stories that harbour resentment, frustration, comparison are not meant to be held onto.  This only traps energy, increases the shame and keeps us stuck in a loop of our story that doesn't serve us.  We are the only ones who can let it go. 3) The stories only have the meaning that we give them. That is it.  We decide the meaning we give it which also includes the energy we give it.  What if we ask different questions, look at our circumstances differently, how would that change what we are going through?
