Being vulnerable may be difficult for some, but why is it important?

Vulnerability allows us to share our feelings and emotions, our experiences, as well as our mistakes, to improve self-awareness and to practice accountability. When we are being vulnerable, we are being proactive. In this episode, CEO Linda Kelly sat down with Cassandra Nordal, PR & Marketing Manager to discuss what it means to be vulnerable and how it can make a positive impact on our lives.

We have a lot of free resources available - visit our wellness website at www.kellymagazine.ca/blog to learn more!

Jason Wellwood joins Linda in this episode for a raw discussion on the relationships that define us, and the ones that led him to use writing as a therapeutic tool. With the debut of his new book, "Fuck you, I love you," Jason tackles relationships that are mentally and emotionally abusive, where partners struggle to make room for one another while dealing with codependency, mixed messages, and emotional reasoning. We are so excited that Jason was able to make time in his busy schedule to give us the rundown on what he has learned!
