283: Deeper Connections Through Vulnerability

Published: Oct. 7, 2021, 8 a.m.

As humans, we are all wired for connection and to feel like we belong. No one, even the biggest introvert on the planet, doesn\u2019t want to feel connected with others.\xa0

\xa0

But many of us find there is a gap between the connection we crave and the way we experience our relationships. We might have a loving marriage, a thousand Facebook friends, and a busy social calendar but something still feels empty.

\xa0

That\u2019s because to truly connect at a deep level, we have to get real and vulnerable with each other...and vulnerability is scary! Few of us really \u201cgo there\u201d in our relationships, and this leaves us wanting something more.

\xa0

But like anything else, vulnerability is a practice. It\u2019s something we can all work to grow in our lives and start getting the relationships we really want. In this episode, I\u2019m sharing with you the benefits of vulnerability, how to find safe people to practice vulnerability with, and the steps you can take to grow vulnerability and connection in your relationships.

If vulnerability still feels a bit scary, that\u2019s ok! Practicing vulnerability is all about taking baby steps and increasing your comfort level with sharing with others. And as you begin to lead with vulnerability, you will automatically invite others to be vulnerable with you, building deeper connections and transforming your relationships!\xa0

\u201cWhen we start sharing on that level, we have the potential and the ability to then connect with others on that level.\u201d - Michelle Chalfant

\u201cThe deeper I can go within myself and get in touch with what\u2019s going on inside myself, the deeper relationships I can have outside of self.\u201d - Michelle Chalfant

\u201cAs a good friend, it\u2019s my job to mirror for her what\u2019s going on.\u201d - Michelle Chalfant

\u201cVulnerability fosters intimacy.\u201d - Michelle Chalfant

\u201cWhen we are vulnerable, there\u2019s compassion for who we are.\u201d - Michelle Chalfant

\u201cHumans are wired for connection and the feeling of belonging. Being vulnerable with another human being creates exactly that.\u201d - Michelle Chalfant
