The Power of Vulnerability

Being honest about one's feelings can lead to profound insights and connections. The speaker recounts a moment at a retreat where expressing a sense of being torn between two beloved locations—Australia and Ireland—opened a new perspective on their emotional state. A stranger's response highlighted that feeling torn can be embraced rather than avoided, showing the beauty in complexity. This connection serves as a reminder that sharing vulnerabilities can reveal unexpected layers of understanding in our lives.
