About this episode

Join B.Simone and Megan Ashley, this week as we breakdown the essence of “vulnerability”. With an intimate group of guests including Alix “Good Energy” Burton , Brii Renee, David Shands, and Tony Gaskins as we uncover what vulnerability means to each of us. Our discussion circles around the fear that vulnerability often carries, exposing ourselves to judgment and the potential of being emotionally attacked. We discover that being vulnerable is about embracing our truth, even when it's difficult. Listen in as we navigate this exploration of self.


The conversation progresses to uncover the role of vulnerability in relationships, highlighting its ties to trust and intimacy. As we discuss the challenges of being open and authentic, we also tackle the concept of weaponizing emotions, shedding light on the risks of manipulating vulnerability in relationships. The discussions get richer as we delve into unconditional love and trust, balancing vulnerability in dating, and navigating communication boundaries. We emphasize the power of unconditional love and the value of trust in relationships.


To wrap up the episode, we reflect on our conversations and insights gained, recognizing the power of vulnerability and the need for improved communication. This candid dialogue serves as a reminder that while vulnerability might make us susceptible to pain, it also opens doors for growth, understanding, and deeper connections. So, tune in for a heartfelt discussion on vulnerability, its impact on our relationships, and its potential to be a catalyst for growth.
