    7. Consistency Consistently ?

    Hey y’all—it’s Varsey. In this episode of Recorded Vulnerabilities, I get real about one of the most anxious relationships in my life: my relationship with consistency. We always hear that success is rooted in doing the same things every day, no matter what. But what if you’re not built like that? What if your life, your body, your brain, and your values demand a different rhythm? This episode is for the folks trying to build new habits, change their routines, and hold themselves accountable, without being cruel to themselves in the process. I reflect on what it means to be consistent with compassion, and why “alignment over time” might be the most honest definition of discipline I’ve ever embraced. Reflection Prompts & Exercises: Where in your life are you telling yourself you need to be more consistent? Is that pressure coming from your true self, or external expectations? On a scale from 1–10, how close are you to your version of consistency? What would an “8” look like for you right now? Would that actually be enough? What barriers are getting in the way of that consistent version of yourself? Are those barriers real or rooted in comparison/perfectionism? Where are you already showing up for yourself consistently, even if no one sees it? Celebrate those silent wins! Where can you flow instead of force? What would it feel like to invite more grace into your routines? BONUS: Write out a list of “Gold Star” moments/tiny actions you’ve taken to show up for yourself lately, even if it didn’t look like full effort or daily discipline.

    6. The In-Between - Summer 25 Edition

    In this deeply reflective episode of Recorded Vulnerabilities, I sit with the discomfort of being in the in-between—those messy, uncertain spaces between clarity and confusion, endings and beginnings. With honesty and vulnerability, I unpack what it feels like to be emotionally, professionally, and spiritually in motion, even when everything around me seems still. From confronting my control issues to redefining what rest truly means, I explore how to stop rushing the process and instead honor the happening. I challenge myself and you to stop forcing outcomes, to recognize the beauty in stillness, and to hold space for the discomfort that growth demands.

    5. Bye, Bye, Bye: When Friendships End

    In this episode of Recorded Vulnerabilities, I open up about the heartbreak, the confusion, and the growth that comes with friendship breakups. Whether it’s a slow fade, an abrupt cut-off, or a “love you from afar” moment, letting go of a deep connection hurts, and it deserves space. I talk about losing my best friend from high school and how that grieving process has mirrored the loss of a romantic partner. Sometimes, it hits even harder. This episode isn’t about answers. It’s about naming the feelings we’re taught to ignore and honoring the love that still lingers, even when the relationship has shifted or ended. Reflection Prompts & Exercises:Final Thoughts: Here’s what I want you to sit with after this episode. Grab a journal, voice memo, or talk it out with someone you trust: Is there someone you’ve been ghosting or slow-fading because you’re avoiding a hard conversation? What would it take to be brave enough to talk to them honestly? Are you telling yourself a relationship is over so you don’t have to be vulnerable? Or is there still space for connection, maybe even in a new way? Is there someone you're still hanging on to out of guilt or habit, even though the friendship is no longer aligned with who you are? What kind of friendship are you truly ready to receive right now? Be specific: What does it feel like? Sound like? Look like? Red Flags vs. Green Flags in Your Friendships: What do you absolutely need in a friend, and what’s a dealbreaker? I’m still deep in the process, still healing, still growing. But this conversation? This is how I honor the people I’ve loved, even when we’re no longer walking side by side. I believe in talking it through, in building community around the messy, beautiful parts of life. DM me, comment, and let’s keep this conversation going. I promise, you’re not alone. Thanks for tapping in with me. Until next time,Stay vulnerable. Stay friendly.

    4. God's Timing Be Trash

    This episode is for anyone who's ever felt like they did all the right things, set all the intentions, stayed prayed up… and still, nothing’s moving. Just crickets. Silence. A divine “not yet” that feels like a big “no.” This one is about the messiness of the wait. I talk about those moments when you're dressed up with nowhere to go, ready for the breakthrough, the love, the success, and still coming up empty. I’ve been wrestling with divine delays, unmet expectations, and the straight-up frustration of feeling ready while God seems to be taking His time. Exercise & Reflection Questions: What are you waiting on right now? Be honest with yourself—love, money, breakthrough, peace? Why does the wait frustrate or hurt you? What’s the root of the pain? What has this waiting season taught you about yourself? How are you evolving in this space? Who are you becoming in the wait? What qualities are surfacing? What strengths are growing? Write a no-filter letter to God or to the universe, your highest self, whatever you believe in. Say it all. The rage, the disappointment, the hope, the gratitude.

    3. Loneliness as HER

    In this episode of Recorded Vulnerabilities, Varsey Laurelle opens up about the complex and deeply human experience of loneliness, even in a life full of people, clients, kids, and community. From feeling like she never quite belonged to navigating betrayal, unmet needs, and over-functioning as a means of survival, Varsey gets real about what it means to feel unseen and unsupported. She reflects on her upbringing, family dynamics, entrepreneurship, and the crushing pressure to have it all together. Through candid storytelling, she explores how we can reframe support, redefine community, and recognize the "loneliness loop" we often unconsciously live in. This conversation is an invitation to get honest about your needs, acknowledge the people who show up unexpectedly, and start building a more intentional life rooted in connection, not pride or performance. Exercise & Reflection Questions: What parts of your life does the word “loneliness” stir up for you? Who or what did you wish would show up for you during those moments? Are there any needs that are still unmet? Who can you ask for help today? What stories are you telling yourself that keep you from asking for support? How can you reframe support and expand your definition of community? Connect with Varsey: Instagram: @varseylaurelle LinkedIn: Varsey Laurelle, MBA, CELC Website: varseylaurelle.com

    2. Parenting - A One-Way Street

    In this episode of Recorded Vulnerabilities, Varsey Laurelle explores the complexities of parenting, particularly the challenges of navigating one-way relationships between parents and children. She reflects on her own experiences as a parent and child, discussing the generational shifts in parenting styles and the importance of setting boundaries. Through personal anecdotes and insights, she emphasizes the need for emotional intelligence and the significance of recognizing blurred lines in parent-child dynamics. The conversation encourages listeners to embrace their parenting journey, learn from mistakes, and prioritize self-preservation through healthy boundaries. Exercise:  Create three columns labeled “Parent,” “Child,” and “Friend.” What are the defining traits or responsibilities for each? Where do you see an overlap? Where are the lines between these roles blurred in your relationships? Is that blurring okay, or is it causing confusion or harm? Which role, parent, child, or friend, feels most natural for you? Which feels hardest to define? What boundaries in your relationships need attention or clarity right now?
