Hannah Ferguson - Outspoken But Not Brok...

HUGH VAN CUYLENBURG, RYAN SHELTON & JOSH VAN CUYLENBURG
About this episode

Not shut down by the fear of humiliation, Hannah Ferguson believes her biggest failure would be to never try in the first place.

In saying that, everything Hannah tries (and touches), inevitably turns to gold (media company, podcast, author, you get the point).

In this episode of The Vulnerabilitea House, Hannah answers the question, “what have you learnt about love from the way you were cared for as a child?”

Recounting the moment she was asked to be responsible for the lives of her siblings, Hannah is incredibly vulnerable and honest in reflecting on the status of her relationship with her parents now, and goes deep with Ryan about the importance of intention.

In the spirit of her word of the year being ‘soft’, Hannah and Josh unpack why she has felt undesirable and undatable, and what makes her current partner feel like forev- a very long time (this could age poorly, but hopefully won’t).

Hannah, our BFLT.
