TUNE IN TO LEARN:    When my facade of perfection crumbled, the unexpected happened—I connected more deeply with those around me.    On today's episode, I talk about one profound lesson learned when I embraced my imperfections and started telling different stories.      We've been conditioned to present our best selves, but what if our truest, unpolished stories are the real bridges to meaningful interactions?      Deep friendships and life-long partnerships?    Since we were kids we've been made to believe that hiding our flaws is the way to go.  But what if reversing this can not only enhance our relationships but also make us more interesting and relatable?    There's strength found in vulnerability, the kind that fosters trust and creates the foundations for happiness.    It's an episode for anyone who's felt the pain of disconnect and yearns for relationships that are as real and textured as the life that shapes us.  Text Me Your Thoughts and IdeasSupport the showBrought to you by Angela Shurina Behavior-First, Executive and Optimal Performance Coach 360, Change Leadership & Culture Transformation Consultant
