In this episode our discussion is triggered by Suzanne sharing her feelings of not wanting to be there and not wanting to do the podcast recording.  Her declaration kick starts a discussion about vulnerability, the armour we use and our need for self compassion to improve our relationships.  This is an intense conversation which brings to the forefront meaningful topics and questions for us all:- Why do we put up armour or shut down in moments of vulnerability?- Retreating to work through our circumstances and feelings- What does shame have to do with it?- Who we are at our core - personas and masks- Self compassion & self awareness

Our goal in the Stripped Podcast series is to share with you real uncensored experiences that everyone can relate to.  We get up close and personal about taboo and tough topics in the hope that it will encourage you to do the same with your friends and family.  We want to help start meaningful conversations that enrich your life.Please get involved in our conversations and enjoy getting Stripped.Suzanne Waldron and Fiona De Stefanis xx
