🌟 What does embracing vulnerability truly entail?
Join us this month as we delve into this question in our reflection episode! 🤔 Inspired by the incredible journey of our guest, Xolisa Mapatwana, who bravely sought help during a tough phase in her career, Nancy and Akosua open up about their own experiences with vulnerability. From Akosua's adaptation to her master's program in Germany to Nancy's mental health battle, our co-hosts courageously explore how they navigated through these challenging times. 💪 Feeling psychologically safe, especially at work, emerged as a pivotal aspect of their journeys, but we all know this isn't a privilege everyone has!
Tune into this episode for more and be inspired to lean into your vulnerability!
💎 Three wisdom gems from Nancy and Akosua are:
It’s ok not to be ok
Supportive managers play a crucial role in creating a safe space for vulnerability
Let’s hold space for those who feel like they cannot be vulnerable because they do not feel safe in their environments
