I was a bit surprised that a rom-com would help me frame up this week’s episode. But I couldn’t stop thinking about it after watching it last week. It was an obvious way to move from last week’s topic: Foundation #2 - We can’t escape these tiny boxes alone, to this week’s.
Foundation #3 is a edgy one for me. For most of us, probably. In fact, it feels a bit edgy to put this one out there. But that’s probably appropriate. Why? Because Foundation #3 is: Vulnerability is the strength we need.
How do you work on building this muscle? I’d love to hear!
