Episode notes
True Versus Faux Vulnerability
- Vulnerability can be genuine or counterfeit, and not all exposure leads to good fruit.
- Faux vulnerability often manipulates others rather than invites true intimacy.
Bring Ownership Before Sharing
- Own and name your interior dysfunction before disclosing it to others.
- Share without making the other's response a condition for your honesty.

- Vulnerability used to shape others' opinions is manipulative, not brave.
- When sharing aims to get pity or advantage, it becomes a power grab.
