Vulnerability is not a marketing strategy—it's a human strategy. In this solo episode, I open up about the deep emotional cost of hiding behind polished content and perfectionism. For years, I kept things “professional” in my business, thinking that showing up with raw honesty would damage my credibility. But it did the opposite. It disconnected me from my audience, my mission, and even myself. If you've been scared to show up as your whole self online—or you're afraid your story is “too much”—this episode is your permission slip to be real, to be messy, and to still lead. Key Takeaways Why your business can't grow without emotional connection How perfectionism and fear of judgment keep you stuck The real difference between oversharing and powerful storytelling How to share from the scar, not the wound Why your story doesn't need to be dramatic to be valuable The “Me Too” rule for sharing vulnerably How vulnerability leads to better discovery calls, deeper clients, and lasting trust Why polished funnels can't replace human connection What it means to show up without a script—but with purpose Resources Mentioned YourHealthCoachBiz.com – Done-for-you content, funnels, and programs to support authentic connection Tools to practice vulnerability: Instagram Stories, micro shares, and journaling prompts Influencers who model it well: Jenna Kutcher and other real-voice creators This is your nudge. Show up as you—unfiltered, imperfect, and human. That's the business people remember.

This podcast is part of the Money Reckoning series.THE IMPACT. Kazu Haga:Is a trainer, educator, student and practitioner with over 25 years of experience in nonviolence and restorative justice. Weaves in lessons from decades of Buddhist practice and trauma healing work to advance social change and collective healing. Is a core member of the Fierce Vulnerability Network, a founding member of the Ahimsa Collective, a Jam facilitator and author of the books Healing Resistance and Fierce Vulnerability. Teaches nonviolence, conflict reconciliation, restorative justice, organizing and mindfulness in prisons and jails, schools, faith communities and activist movements.Has worked on the gift economy for over 15 years. I particularly recommend his Substack, and the article about how the “gift economy is not free.” THE JOURNEY. In our conversation, we explore:Early influences”Depending on the causes and conditions in our lives, we could be so many different people. We could be Trump supporters, we could be prison guards, we could be an incarcerated person… just based on just the factors in our lives.“Big questions “The point isn't to figure it out. The point is to just be with the question, and have faith that at some point, if we listen deep enough, we'll be guided to the most skillful next step. And that's perhaps all we need to know.”The healing work of nonviolence“ What would happen if, in a nonviolent direct action, instead of yelling and chanting, we held a public grief ritual for everyone to witness? What would happen if, instead of leading with our anger, we led with our heartbreak?”Fierce vulnerability“Can we have the spiritual maturity and the capacity to really see the world for what it is and to not collapse under the weight of it?”“The amount of spiritual energy that it takes to constantly suppress a deeper truth that I think all of us are feeling that something is so deeply wrong with our society … it is sapping us. You see the impact, the mental health epidemics, the depression, the sense of isolation. We're constantly using our energy to, to live in this delusion of everything's fine. Don't look, don't look.” Spaces safe enough to look at the reality of this moment“ In a lot of the spaces that I facilitate, we do this activity where we do like check-ins and the first prompt is, how are you doing? And then the second prompt is, how are you really doing? And then the third prompt is, how are you really, really doing? We so rarely have an opportunity to slow down enough, just to say, how am I actually doing, in the midst of post pandemic and war and genocide and polarization and the rise of authoritarianism, and ecological collapse?”Reckoning with capitalism ”People are slowly realizing more and more how unsustainable the capitalist system is. Those are scary moments. Because capitalism is all we've ever known. A lot of us believe that if capitalism fails, there'll be complete lawlessness. So just to create space for people to be with that fear, let them know that the fear is real, it's legitimate. And at some point I think there'll be openness to hear that there are other ways that we can organize society.”The gift economy“The gift economy is one way to really imagine: how do we share resources, distribute resources, manage our shared resources in a way that understands that we are a communal species. It's not through individualism and competition and hoarding that we thrive. We are at our best when we are communal.”“It's  not about how do I make more money so that I can thrive, but how do I make less money so that I have time to invest in the relationships that will really help me thrive?”Running an organization on the gift economy“ I started a nonprofit. We barely did any fundraising. We barely worked with foundations and somehow managed to become sustainable. Partly because we're committed to simple living. But so many things happened that gave me a sense this could work.”

After a botchy IG Live when I couldn't SEE Esin, this was delicious to LOOK into her beautiful eyes and connect heart to heart. Erin is a Holistic Psychologist, LCSW, Addiction Professional, and Relationship Expert.  We dove right into our shared experiences of Female Friendship & Betrayal. While many think breaking up with a boyfriend or husband is intense… we both agreed that the heartbreak of female friendship betrayals and the pain of sisterhood ruptures can be even more intense… perhaps because you don't see them coming.  We both opened up about how early family roles and codependent tendencies and how that has shaped our adult relationships, and how needing constant reassurance or connection with others can lead to losing a sense of self. It was so nourishing to connect with Esin about the complexities of therapeutic relationships, how deeply intimate and soul-connected they can become, and the struggle to maintain healthy boundaries without losing authenticity or care. We both have historically over-given to clients at the cost of our own well-being. I shared how my mentors have taught me self-first care vs. selfless care, and how time off and new practices like a month's sabbatical in Spain, flamenco dancing is helping me reclaim joy and balance. As two single women, we highlighted the importance of building friendships and romantic relationships outside of work and stop over-relying on our careers for fulfillment. We lovingly challenged each other to actively create more space for personal relationships and fun. I shared a playfully structured approach with ways I'm reparenting my inner self—including having “dinner” with her inner masculine and feminine, and putting a cardboard Jason Mamoa in my home to prompt sensual self-practices! (Decided on the poster, not the full-size cardboard after all xox)  Our conversation was deeply personal, with both of us modeling vulnerability, acknowledging our wounds, and laughing through the shared journey of learning to love and care for ourselves more fully. Some bumper sticker takeaways include..."If I avoid love, I avoid pain. But if I avoid pain, I also avoid love.” "We don't want to dismantle codependency in a way where we demonize it—we just want to harness it differently.” "The source of my wholeness needs to come from inside-out, not outside-in." This episode is a beautiful, raw, and deeply human exploration of the messy, courageous journey of reclaiming self-worth, intimacy, and joy—especially for those, like Esin and I, who help others for a living. It's a reminder that even the most evolved coaches and therapists are still growing, too. ➡️ Go check out patreon.com/allanapratt for Exclusive content!

During a rapidly evolving time of our existence, it's an important skill to take responsibility to how we're responding to the unknown and vulnerability. To lead with balance, centeredness, and the courage to experiment in new ways of being, we have to be disciplined about regulating our nervous system while clearing out the residue of our habituations and obsolete presumptions.

In today's episode Adam reaches the conclusion of The Speed of Trust; looking at the last subchapter "The Propensity to Trust."

Send us a textWhat does authentic masculinity look like in a world that teaches boys to hide their emotions from an early age? Leadership coach Lee Povey takes us on his transformative journey from needing to be the hero in every relationship to discovering the profound power of vulnerability.Growing up with a narcissistic father who saw Lee's achievements only as extensions of himself left him with a deep question that persists even at 52 years old: what does it really mean to be a man? His search led him to therapy and men's groups where he discovered what had been missing—the ability to be seen, heard, and guided by older men who accepted him fully.This conversation takes a dramatic turn when Lee reveals how a devastating cycling accident in 2010 forced him to confront his inability to ask for help. "I wanted to be always okay and I wanted you to be not okay so I could save you," he shares, describing how this "hero complex" had sabotaged his relationships and limited his growth. The vulnerability required during his recovery ultimately transformed every aspect of his life.Both Steve and Lee explore why men struggle with emotional expression, introducing practical approaches for reclaiming our full emotional range. Lee's "cookie jar" analogy brilliantly illustrates how we lose capacity for feedback when we experience too much criticism without sufficient acknowledgment. The key to effective men's groups? Creating judgment-free spaces where men can first be heard before receiving guidance.Whether you work with men professionally or are simply interested in developing greater emotional intelligence, this episode offers profound insights into creating spaces where vulnerability becomes strength. As Steve powerfully states, "If you ever make fun of my vulnerability, you're the asshole, not me."Join us to discover how embracing our full humanity—including the emotions we've been taught to suppress—leads to more authentic connections, better leadership, and greater resilience in the face of life's challenges.This discussion will continue on episode 215!To connect with Lee, go to his website at www.leepovey.comFreed.ai: We'll Do Your SOAP Notes!Freed AI converts conversations into SOAP note.Use code Steve50 for $50 off the 1st month!Disclaimer: This post contains affiliate links.

This one's for you who's longing to be known. Today, we are joined by dear friends of The Grove— Rachel Baldwin, Kerri Stanfill, and Susan Robinson— for a vulnerable conversation about what it really means to be seen, loved, and surrounded by a real community.  But where do we begin? How do we create a space where people feel safe to be known — not only when we win, but also when we ache?Through wisdom and practical encouragement, Rachel, Kerri, and Susan invite us to go first — in vulnerability, in confession, in reaching out, in showing up. They discuss the power of presence, the courage it takes to initiate, and why we don't have to have it all together to start forming or maintaining our meaningful relationships. For the woman longing for deeper friendship but unsure where to begin, this episode is filled with grace and guidance for taking that first brave step.Whether you're flourishing in community or feeling forgotten on the sidelines, you'll leave this conversation reminded that you're not alone.

You've been taught vulnerability is strength, but what if that's half the truth—and it's costing you more than you realize? This week, DawnCheré Wilkerson joins me to dismantle the hidden toll of isolation. She shares how walking through infertility, life's furnace, and unsurfaced grief fractures the soul, and how secrets rob you of belonging before you even realize it. DawnCheré exposes why vulnerability isn't a spotlight; it's a sanctuary that demands integrity. She unpacks the orphan spirit every believer must resist, warns against idolizing therapy as the endpoint, and offers a path forward: a refusal to run, safety in community, and the spiritual grit to stay alive. If you're tired of pretending you're fine…if your pain feels invisible…and if you've mistaken therapy for healing, this episode is your call to come home.

In this deeply honest and energizing conversation, Dr. Tim Trinh joins Aaron to unpack his journey of daily content creation, personal growth, and finding purpose through consistency. Tim opens up about what motivated him to start sharing his thoughts online, the internal resistance he faced, and how reframing content as a form of legacy—not just marketing—changed everything. Together, they reflect on how storytelling and vulnerability are not only powerful for an audience but transformative for the creator. Tim shares how the teachings from Dan Martell's Buy Back Your Time—including the five daily non-negotiables—helped shape his mindset, especially around the importance of physical and mental fortitude, daily reflection, and posting with authenticity. You'll hear how his running routine became a metaphor and method for mental clarity, how his kids and even his nanny became unexpected sources of feedback, and how true fulfillment comes from being yourself out loud—even when it's uncomfortable. This episode isn't just about content creation; it's about identity, courage, and the liberating realization that success, impact, and personal peace lie on the other side of repetition.

Jeff Lindeman, Chief People, Culture & Capability Officer at WD-40, joins the podcast to unpack the dual challenge every modern leader faces leading themselves and leading through change. Through personal reflection, bold transparency, and a people-first mindset, Jeff reveals how introversion, vulnerability, and authenticity can become surprising superpowers in leadership. In this deep-dive conversation, Jeff and Lee examine how seemingly small moments, like asking for time off or handling disappointment, can become pivotal points of leadership. Jeff walks us through lessons learned from his early career, how he doubled performance by showing respect, and how WD-40 cultivates 94% employee engagement in a world where the average is just 23%. From embracing AI with curiosity instead of fear to fostering trust through shared accountability, Jeff shows us that unleashing leaders isn't about having all the answers—it's about asking the right questions and showing up with intentional presence.

In today's episode, I'm talking about the phrase "I'm just complaining" and other things we say to downplay what we feel. We've been conditioned to downplay our emotions, especially in rural life and agricultural spaces, where strength is often measured by how much you can "grit and bear." Vulnerability gets squashed by shame. It's time we flip the script and stop minimizing what we're feeling. Your feelings MATTER - they're not a burden or a weakness. If you need space to unpack something heavy, I've recently opened up one-time, 1:1 guidance calls. I've been there, and I know how valuable it can be to talk with someone who sees and hears you.

On June 13th, Israel launched attacks on several military and nuclear facilities in Iran, marking the beginning of a 12-day war between the two countries. The United States followed with targeted strikes on Iranian nuclear sites to prevent Iran from becoming a nuclear power and posing a threat to regional and global stability. China's involvement in the conflict was limited to condemning the Israeli and US use of military force and calling for de-escalation. Beijing offered only rhetorical support for Tehran. To discuss what the Israel-Iran war reveals about China's relationship with Iran, its evolving strategy in the Middle East, and the broader implications for US-China competition, we are joined by Yun Sun on the podcast today. Yun is a Senior Fellow, co-Director of the East Asia Program and Director of the China Program at the Stimson Center. Her recent piece in The Wire China entitled “How China Sees Iran's Future” offers provides a nuanced take on Beijing's calculus during and after the war. Timestamps[00:00] Start[01:34] China's Diplomatic Strategy Toward the Middle East[05:00] A Limited Chinese Response and China's Regional Role[08:19] Chinese Perceptions of Iran's External Strategic Blunders[15:00] Trickling Chinese Investment into Iran[20:10] Chinese Concerns About a Nuclearized Iran[25:09] Implications of the Israel-Iran War for China's Energy Security[32:04] Trump's Response Shaping Chinese Views of the United States

What does it look like to resist empire without becoming empire? Poet and essayist David Gate joins the podcast to explore how care, friendship, and creative truth-telling can become acts of rebellion in a world shaped by power, productivity, and isolation. In this conversation, we talk about why individualism is a dead end, how to build communities that last, and why Jesus' refusal to grasp power remains a countercultural model worth following. David shares the heart behind his new book Rebellion of Care, the role of art in subversion, and why the life we already have, if we live it with intention, can become the site of radical transformation. If you're hungry for a faith that's grounded, generous, and deeply human, this episode offers both vision and invitation.David Gate grew up in London before making his way to Belfast, Northern Ireland and Jacksonville, Florida.
