Do not be afraid to be Vulnerable

During my drive this week to Tahoe, I was listening to the Entrepreneur On Fire podcast, featuring, Sara Davidson, Founder and CEO of Hello Fearless. During her interview, she said something that resonated with me: "Vulnerability is Sexy." In today's modern world, women are taught to be strong, fierce, and independent to which I agree with all, one hundred percent! We are however also taught that to be vulnerable is to be weak. This is a BIG misconception and like Brene Brown says "profoundly dangerous". Vulnerability shows humility and that though our lives may seem perfect, it may not be and it doesn't have to be either. We do not have to know all of the answers to everything. Having the humility to ask for help whether at home, at work, in your relationships, or even with a goal that you are trying to achieve is okay! The real truth is that to be vulnerable is to be strong! If you have failed in something, this doesn't make you weak, you may be vulnerable--yes, but it is what you do with that vulnerability that will make you a stronger for it "...is the most accurate measure of courage." (Brown, "The Power of Vulnerability")

Whatever goals you have in your life, take a leap of faith and go for it; do not be afraid to be vulnerable!
