Summary
How often are you vulnerable with other people? How about with yourself? If it's not often, I totally get it. It can be scary and it can also feel really uncomfortable.
In this episode, I'm talking about vulnerability, why you might not be willing to be vulnerable, and why it might greatly benefit you if you do it. This just might be something that's holding you back from having so many of the things you want in your life.

| 0:00.0 | You are listening to the Stop Binge Eating Podcast with Kirsten Sarfdy, episode number 106. |
| 0:06.3 | Welcome to the Stop Binge Eating Podcast. It's time for you to end your food obsession and begin |
| 0:11.7 | feeling confident and in control around food. You are absolutely capable of eliminating |
| 0:17.3 | binge eating from your life, and I'm going to show you how by giving you simple |
| 0:21.0 | tools and insights that you can apply in your own life. I'm your host, Kirst and Sarty. Now let's get |
| 0:27.4 | to it. Hi, are you ready to get vulnerable? Are we ever ready to do that? I mean, I do it all the time on this podcast, but I'll tell |
| 0:41.3 | you, I wasn't always this open about my binge eating or really any other thing in my life that I |
| 0:48.5 | would consider to be a weakness. I liked coming off as a strong person who had her life together and who could do all the |
| 0:56.8 | things. So to do that, I kept most of my feelings, my doubts, and my insecurities to myself. |
| 1:04.8 | I didn't want to look like a weak person. What's interesting was that not only was I stopping myself from being vulnerable with other people, |
| 1:13.5 | but also with myself. |
| 1:16.0 | I say I kept my feelings, doubts, and insecurities to myself, but I probably wasn't even aware of them. |
| 1:23.5 | I just brushed past them, didn't really acknowledge them, and again, just pushed myself to be |
| 1:29.2 | stronger without addressing why I was having struggles and not doing what I wanted to be doing |
| 1:34.7 | in the first place. Before I entered the coaching world, I didn't spend much time thinking about |
| 1:40.7 | how I felt and understanding where I was coming from and why I was experiencing |
| 1:45.5 | my life the way I was. I wasn't being vulnerable with anyone, myself included. It makes sense that we |
| 1:54.2 | might not want to be vulnerable. I looked up the actual definition of vulnerable and it says, |
| 2:00.7 | susceptible to physical or emotional attack or |
| 2:03.9 | harm. Obviously what I'm talking about in this episode pertains to the emotional piece, |
| 2:09.2 | not the physical. So what happens is that we fear being vulnerable with somebody, |
| 2:14.7 | ourselves or other people, because we're afraid something bad will happen if we are. |
