In the age of outrage, entitlement and “i want my rights” (and no responsibilities) epidemic, it would be good for us to stop and reflect on, who is responsible for our lives? Most of the things that happen in our lives are in our zone of influence. Yes, some are not, but the question: “what can I do about my own situation?” is fundamental to the process of improvement and growth. has a concept of “extreme ownership” and it is an interesting view. Check out his book “extreme ownership”.

What is vulnerability?

Fake vulnerability. Vulnerability is the coolest of words these days in personal development communities. I hear people throwing around “Thanks for your vulnerability” and marketers are riding the vulnerability wave.

A lot of people who might not know who is Brene Brown or don’t follow the industry, they probably have no clue what I’m talking about. Let me explain. Quoting Brene Brown “Vulnerability is basically uncertainty, risk, and emotional exposure.”

What I’m seeing a lot lately, people are showing the “emotional exposure” with the conscious or unconscious purpose of gaining attention on social media. It’s not necessarily coming out authentically.

I definitely want to emphasize here that there are loads of people who have been absolute champions of showing the realness of their lives and not doing it to gain attention. I deeply admire those people.

I’m talking about another group of people. Those who don’t do it authentically.

How would you know the difference? You wouldn’t.

I’ve met many people who very openly share about their past and current challenges on their FB lives and stages but when it comes to one-on-one conversations where cameras are turned off, there’s not much of humility nor real vulnerability.

For me, vulnerability doesn’t mean showing your life, the bad, the good and the ugly on your social media, it’s about saying sorry when you screw up.

It’s about having a difficult conversation with your loved ones.

It’s about standing up for your beliefs even when you are afraid to get criticised.

Vulnerability is not about posting a photo without makeup and then hoping that people will applaud you for being so courageous.

For me, vulnerability is about showing up way before you are ready and putting things out to the world for everyone to criticise.

Most of my life, I wanted to be a writer and up to this day, it’s one of those things that I procrastinate about the most. Because what if I’m a complete crap… That would hurt.

Here I am, writing and therefore I am a writer.

Vulnerability is about going first. It’s about entering the unknown zone.

Tell me, what does vulnerability mean to you?

This is a good one...What is the sign of a strong, long lasting relationship? What is the man’s role and what is the role of the woman in a relationship in today’s ever changing world?

Great to see a strong woman like challenge the current obsession with the term toxic masculinity. Masculinity and femininity are qualities residing in all of us. It is the behaviour that is exhibited that can be toxic, not masculinity, nor femininity.
