In this podcast we look at the Victim Mentality Vs Vulnerability. Why neither is a sign of weakness, however one allows space for us to step into power whilst the other allows power to be taken away.

Many of us share in the victim mentality and don’t realize it. Especially when it comes to blame or defensiveness; or even just wanting to hide and not put yourself out there or out of your comfort zone. We have a pattern in our thinking that it's far easier to believe if things don't work out for us, career, relationships, self esteem, it's someone else's fault? It's easier to believe we don't have a choice in how we respond to the things that happen to us. But...what if this mentality gives all your power away and lets us become the victim?

Vulnerability on the other hand is knowing you are enough. When you can believe that no matter what emotion comes up in any situation you may face, that is where your strength and power lies. It's choosing to release our instincts to fight or defend, and surrender to the idea that people can have any opinion they want of us, because we know our own self worth and whats true for us, and we are responsible for our own emotions. We choose to step into a place of power rather than giving it away. Open to listening to others with the intent to understand and embracing our fears or limiting beliefs. This is how we discover who we really are and why we are the way we are. That’s where vulnerability will overcome the victim mentality and we step into our power.
