Oftentimes we are quick to ascribe meanings to the actions of our loved ones and follow by being angry and resentful rather than being expressive. And this stirred up the rich question; Why do we put up a protective armor from the deepest form of intimacy we can enjoy?

Tune in today as Kathleen digs deeper into a series of episodes on Vulnerability. With reflections from her Women's coaching group, her struggles with this beautiful mess, and your feedback, she sets out to help you invest in sorting your avoidance of vulnerability out, get past the fear of vulnerability to avoid missing out on great and genuine relationships with the people in your lives.

Tune in as Kathleen speaks about:

  • What vulnerability looks like in our real life
  • Why the avoidance of vulnerability is higher in our midlife
  • Her initial struggles with being vulnerable
  • Why we're often more comfortable being resentful than talking it out 
  • The role emotions vs rationality play in vulnerability
  • The main fear that drives us to anger and resentment instead of being vulnerable
  • … and so much more!
