After spending intentional time in reflection, pouring my heart into writing, and bringing Finding Your Truest You to life, I finally released it into the world.

This was one of my most personal and vulnerable projects—one that demanded deep introspection and courage.

I talk a lot about learning that my vulnerability is a super power over the past five years. One thing I still get hung up on is when/how to be vulnerable at work.

According to Culture Works HR, 60% of Americans struggle to maintain a healthy balance between their professional and personal lives.

Quora says that vulnerability is natural and should be embedded within any company’s culture. “It creates trust and promotes acceptance and empathy when giving and receiving feedback. It also helps with effective problem solving and decision making.”

According to Toner Buzz, 85% of companies that offer work-life balance programs report an increase in productivity, while 33% of employees with a good balance say they plan to stay longer in their current role.

The fear of making connections and being vulnerable can stem from various sources, such as past traumatic experiences, fear of rejection or abandonment, low self esteem, or a lack of trust in others. This is true whether in your personal or professional life.

So how can you change that?
-Focus on building self awareness;
-Practice active listening;
-Share your thoughts and feelings appropriately;

Do you have a difficult time being vulnerable? Try a few of these to help get you started.

Peel away the societal expectations and external influences to embrace your inner rockstar! You are in control of your destiny and allowing what everyone thinks to define you or place you into a box is not living up to your full potential. Whatever your full potential is, do not let it be stifled by other people’s inability to see the true you. You make things happen. You push your limits. You step out of your comfort zone. You encourage other women to do the same and that is what makes you that ‘Fire in Your Soul’ Rockstar!

Even when things get tough, stay the course, don’t give up. Hang in there and don’t throw in the towel. Set small goals for yourself, don’t try to get from A to Z all at once. Get an accountability partner that will not allow you to give up on yourself. Ride those rough waves and stay in the course!
