Everyone shuts down sometimes. Whether you're afraid of getting hurt, want to avoid conflict, or are trying to protect your hard-earned reputation, it's tempting to put on your armor and hide out.

But closing yourself off is no way to live. In fact, when you learn to stay open, your life gets better and better. You grow, you receive, you deepen the connection you feel with others, and you live a more exciting story by having new experiences.

In this episode, you'll discover how to get out of your own way and truly thrive with an open mind, heart, and hands.

Show highlights include:

• Why being 'plant-like' opens you up to more adventure and growth. (1:58)
• How to become more open-minded and evolve your thinking with the planet Pluto. (6:06)
• A few Brené Brown inspired practices for taking off the armor and letting yourself be seen. (8:22)
