Welcome to today’s show! Vulnerability “Vulnerability smells like rotten eggs, feels like slimy fish, tastes like ash.”

WHAT WE’LL LEARN: * What is Vulnerability? * What events led to Adina knowing she needed to address her own vulnerability. * How Adina previously handled vulnerability. * What the family motto was in her early days that led to her feeling that being vulnerable was not acceptable. * How Adina approaches vulnerability now. * What is Adina’s writing process. * Through writing we are able to make connections with our former, current, and future selves. * How she would use stories as reminders, as protection and prevention. * The stories that helped keep you alive when you were young, are not the stories that will help you now. * Start to write and then share those stories with others. That’s how we are able to connect with each other.

Quotes: “I was literally in a fist fight with vulnerability. And I knew at that point that I needed to start working on this.”

“Writing is a creative act of internal disruption”
