The Power of Vulnerability + Connection

Episode Summary

In this conversation with Shiva Avtar, two people-pleasers take a look at showing up in relationship with openness + vulnerability. We talk about holding space for other people when they need it (so we trust that they'll do the same for us) and the power of staying present with the people we love as well as our own emotions.
