Unlearning Hyper-Independence: Finding Strength in Vulnerability

That Makeup Gal

In this episode, we’re diving into the often overlooked journey of unlearning hyper-independence. For anyone who’s been fiercely self-reliant, you know that finding comfort in vulnerability isn’t just hard—it can feel like breaking down walls you’ve spent years building. I talk about what it’s like to shift from “I can do it all myself” to “Maybe I don’t have to.” We’ll explore how deeply ingrained our independence can be, why opening up can feel so uncomfortable, and why embracing vulnerability might just be the next step forward.
Tune in as I share my own struggles and realisations on this path toward balancing independence with the power of connection.
