Vulnerability can be used as a manipulation tactic. Not always. Maybe not even often. But sometimes. In this episode, I explore my relationship with vulnerability over the years with the help of one of @enfold.ing 's excellent videos. (Side note: A new start to the podcast eps! I didn't realize Anchor's Ambassador Ads stop once you reach a certain number of views, so each ep from here on out will sound a little different than what you heard before.)
