00:00Vulnerability is not more necessary for any of us than anybody else, but certainly more

00:06difficult for some people, for sure.

00:09And I think what's hard about that, what's so painful, probably the most painful part

00:15of my career, is that regardless of why the armor is on, without vulnerability, you cannot

00:23access the experiences that are the most meaningful in life.

00:30Love.

00:31To love someone is to be vulnerable from the time you wake up to the time you go to bed.

00:35You know that.

00:35You're in a relationship.

00:36To love is to be vulnerable, right?

00:39And have you ever buried someone you loved?

00:42Like, I lost my mom two years ago.

00:43Like, my kids, it's like having your heart live outside of your body.

00:48Like, to love is to be vulnerable, because it's to risk grief and losing.

00:53Belonging is vulnerable.

00:54The most vulnerable human emotion?

00:58Joy.

01:00Joy is so vulnerable that when some of us get close to it, we dress rehearse tragedy to prepare

01:09for disappointment.

01:09Like, it's so vulnerable that we don't even let ourselves feel joy, because we're so afraid

01:16someone's going to rip it away, and we're going to get sucker punched by disappointment.
