Arising Podcast with Fiona and Nicole Fiona Botha

This week we chat about the difference between transparency and vulnerability and how being vulnerable can bring value to our lives and our connection with the people in our lives - even though being vulnerable is difficult!

If you want to dig deeper into the topic of vulnerability go check out Brene Browns ted talk or her talk on Netflix: A call to courage. She has a bunch of great books we also recommend.

We will be continuing the conversation about how to be courageous in the things we are passionate about on our Instagram live conversation, Friday 26th June 2020
