Today we are joined by special guest host, Alexis Teichmiller, and we’re talking about vulnerability. Vulnerability has become a bit of a buzzword in recent years, but that’s not a bad thing. Social media makes it easy for people to only share their successes. But, if you can be more vulnerable on these platforms, and open about your process, people will connect with it more deeply and see you as a real person.

Today we are joined by special guest host, Alexis Teichmiller, and we’re talking about vulnerability.
Vulnerability has become a bit of a buzzword in recent years, but that’s not a bad thing.
Social media makes it easy for people to only share their successes. But, if you can be more vulnerable on these platforms, and open about your process, people will connect with it more deeply and see you as a real person.
Main takeaways
- Share both your successes and your failures. Be open with your audience about what went wrong, instead of just showing the positive results.
- Vulnerability is more for you than others. It’s you keeping a promise to yourself that you’ll be who you are.
- Be calculated in what you choose to share. Knowing what you’re trying to accomplish when you share something will help you avoid oversharing.
- Imposter syndrome can stand in the way of your vulnerability. It makes you feel like you need to have the answers to every question in your profession.
