There's a difference between mad energy and anger and contempt and resentment compared to

this hurt me and you know and just, I want to share that with you and it makes me sad and it makes

me not feel whole or seen or valued or worthy, whatever. and so vulnerability go takes from the surface and it goes down to

the where the real feelings are from it I believe it takes you from the head

there really isn't much vulnerability in the head, it's your heart space. I believe that each and every one of us has the power within ourselves to create the life that we really want and I want to help give you the tools to make that happen.

I'm Danneka Patrick and I'm Pretty Intense.

Welcome to the Pretty Intense podcast. Today is a special show with my friend Stacey Barnes.

We've been friends for 15 years

and we have been known to do plenty of deep diving together

when no one is listening but we thought

it'd be really cool to deep dive for you guys on one word and the word today is

vulnerable. This is a really important concept and something to

something to embrace as a person. I can't think of a way that it would hurt you to be more vulnerable but it is also very difficult.

So we're going to go into what that looks like, what that's looked like for us, what it means to us, and hopefully you can take something away that will hopefully

make you a little bit more vulnerable yourself and connect with people and connect with situations

in a meaningful way.

So please enjoy.

I think that one of the hardest things to do

is to be vulnerable.

And it's almost one of the, it's like one of the hardest things to do,

even if you want to do it, because it's hard

to get to the deepest layer of vulnerability.
