Virtues of Vulnerability on Video!

I am ‘totes’ honored! If you voted for me in the #ThriveHero video contest, thank you!! I really, really appreciate you making the time! I’m thrilled to have stretched my vulnerability muscles and to have made it into the ‘over 25 votes’ category and winning a $100. gift card- whoo hoo!

And I also want to thank you for reading my blog- whether you voted for me or not! Thank you for giving me the opportunity to share myself with you! It is such a gift!

Now to be honest, I’m sort of hoping you didn’t watch my video… whaaaaat? Well, I admitted 2 hefty ‘secrets’ that I thought only people in Thrive Academy were going to hear … which was edgy enough!

One secret was a fairly large shadowy part of myself and the other was about my enlightened purpose- which was equally hard to share- like, how dare you see yourself like that?

So when I found out the rest of the world was going to watch the video, I seriously got nervous and didn’t think I should enter the contest, let alone email my list ask them to vote for me!

But the main reason I surrendered and let the video go out into the universe is that I don’t want to let my ‘secrets’….. STRAIGHTJACKET my Voice ?… anymore! Right?

I mean it’s getting to the point where NOT sharing my little shadowy parts of myself or my enlightened purpose is MORE painful than SHARING them! (I still have a way to go with this. But there is great momentum!)

Every time I censor myself and hold a shadowy or enlightened part of myself back:

I bail on myself and buy into the belief that I’m a fraud– the ole Fraud Factor fear- right?
I squelch my energy and I can’t fully transmit my message so it’s UN~engaging
I can’t properly connect with myself or my tribe~ so they don’t ‘hear’ me
I feel extremely UN~confident
I certainly can’t manifest- opportunities, money, etc…

Are you grockin’ my groove?

Flash forward to yesterday morning: After sharing about my video with my client, she said:

“I am inspired you were so vulnerable… I don’t know how to do that… what to say… I want to make a video about what I did last night when I couldn’t sleep… but I can’t!”

“Why not?”

“Because I don’t want my clients to know that I have trouble sleeping! How will they ever trust that I can teach them how to relax?”

Classic Fraud Factor fear!

I’m happy to say that after some awesome coaching from me ? and because she is super skilled at dropping in and feeling discomfort, she made a huge dent in her suppression pattern!

She finally realized why her videos and Facebook posts were not getting much engagement. She was speaking too generally and skipping over little vulnerable details that would make her content far more relatable and interesting to her tribe.

Though she is amazing with her private clients, she was struggling to reach more people and impact them via social media.

She left the session energized, empowered and excited to start sharing more vulnerably! She now feels less afraid and ready to unleash more of herself–in small bite-size chunks!

You are a transformational leader! If you are holding back and not sharing vulnerably, you’re shooting your biz in the foot!
I’m committing to upping my vulnerable sharing! And I don’t mean baring every single gory detail– NOT! I just mean being super present in the moment to what I’m feeling and not holding back if it’s not all successful and awesome.

I’m committed to sharing the not so fab stuff so others can feel a tad safer sharing a little more of their vulnerabilities, one video at a time!
And so, I’d like to celebrate being vulnerable in my visibility and extend my birthday sale til next Friday, August 5th! I’m updating the focus to include more vulnerability sharing! Drumroll please!!
