“Vulnerability is not winning or losing; it’s having the courage to show up and be seen when we have no control over the outcome.

Vulnerability is not knowing victory or defeat, it’s understanding the necessity of both; it’s not the absence of fear, but the willingness to act in spite of it.

We can’t avoid fear, but we can choose how we respond to it. In a world that tells us to “never let them see you sweat,” vulnerability is often seen as weakness.

But those who choose to be vulnerable are the ones who find true strength.”, Brené Brown, Daring Greatly.

And in that moment, she chose presence over panic.
