In the previous episode, Cat opened up about her vulnerability and how hard it is for her to ask for help and relinquish some of her independence. In this episode, Cat has invited Debra Levitt back to explore vulnerability and courage further.  

Cat remembers when her coach asked her about what words she associated with vulnerability and the how they were all negative. Whilst her brain perhaps knew that wasn't the case, her emotions were telling her that being vulnerable was weak. 

Brene Brown is a well known speaker and research who regularly talks about vulnerability and studies it - through this, Cat is beginning to acknowledge that allowing yourself to be seen as vulnerable shows courage not weakness.

We move on from purely discussing vulnerability to looking at our chosen direction, the obstacles we put up ourselves and finding a group that supports you in where you are going so that you stay in your own lane.
