Uncovering Authentic Connection Through Vulnerability
Send us a text
What does it mean to truly stand in your truth? In this deeply personal conversation, host Yanni welcomes Kelci for an exploration of self-worth, boundaries, and authentic connection that will resonate with anyone who's ever struggled to put themselves first.
The raw vulnerability begins immediately as Kelci admits how seeing others succeed serves as her primary motivation—a confession that opens the door to discussing deeper issues of self-confidence and people-pleasing tendencies. "I have all these things that I want to do, and I have it all written down," she shares, "and then I just close the notebook and put it back on my desk." This moment of honesty captures what so many of us experience: the gap between our dreams and our courage to pursue them.
Through a thoughtful game of "Not Really Strangers," the conversation flows naturally through topics that matter—protecting mental health, setting boundaries, and the challenge of answering honestly when someone asks "How are you?" Both women reveal their experiences carrying others' emotional burdens while neglecting their own needs, particularly as oldest siblings who learned early to care for everyone else. When asked what advice she'd give her younger self, Kelci doesn't hesitate: "Put yourself first all the time."
The most powerful moments come when discussing personal growth through life's challenges, including Kelci's journey through. Her story of finding the strength to leave reveals how self-advocacy develops over time—sometimes through painful experiences that ultimately lead to freedom. Whether you're working on establishing boundaries, finding your voice, or reconnecting with your worth, this conversation offers both comfort and courage for the journey ahead.
Ready to start prioritizing yourself without guilt? Listen now and discover what might be possible when you finally put yourself at the top of your own list.
