*Season 1: Origins | Episode 3 | 21 min*

Vulnerability only seems like weakness, and it’s the starting point to making true change. In the first episode of 2020, I recap how a ski trip quickly turned into an emergency. In these times of panic, fear and confusion, vulnerability can be a healthy way to acknowledge and process emotions.

Face the conflicting desire to be seen publicly as one way and internally feeling another, by reducing how much your energy your spending on managing these perceptions. Quote from I Know What You Think of Me by Tim Kreider - https://opinionator.blogs.nytimes.com/2013/06/15/i-know-what-you-think-of-me/ I'm Jacen from Hawthorne Union, a professional coach.
