The Vulnerability Paradox: We Hide To Be Accepted, But We Crave Being Seen

by Feb 6, 2024Podcast0 comments

Do you feel like you’re alone in your personal transformation journey? When we let our ego and negative self-talk get in the way, it’s easy to lose that connection to others, leading us to feel like we’re the only one with these “crazy” thoughts or that no one else feels quite the way we do.

 

But the good news? We’re not alone – we just have to stop hiding. Today, I’m talking about how we’re denying our true selves the right to exist and the uncomfortable paradox we’ve created in our quest to fit in.

 

“We as humans live in this paradox where we really can’t win. We want validation and recognition, but to be our true selves, we risk rejection and not being loved. And that’s a tough place.”
