is it safe to be soft?

why hiding isn’t the protection we think it is

season: renewal of relationships + connection

what if the very parts of you that feel too tender to share—your fears, your desires, your doubts—are actually the keys to deeper, more fulfilling relationships?

in this episode of tangent f·m, host shonda denise explores how vulnerability, when used wisely, transforms connection. from personal stories in the workplace to navigating emotional risks in romance, she breaks down why vulnerability isn’t weakness—it’s powerful truth-telling.

we talk about:

• how to discern who has earned your vulnerable self
• why fear of rejection is hardwired into us
• journal prompts to reconnect with your truth
• ways to practice small, safe acts of openness
• the shadow side of vulnerability (and how to heal from it)
• how honesty deepens intimacy across all relationships

this conversation is an invitation to bloom—right on time for spring.

next week, we’re talking boundaries. but for now? take off the armor.
