Oh boy. I’m feeling this one. The part about the mental impediment of vulnerability... I struggle with that so much. It’s one of the reasons why I detach. I know how dangerous it can be for me to speak in those moments when I don’t have the words. I am getting better at letting people know that I need some time to work things out before I say anything. When I do that the words do come. I do say them and brace myself for impact. I’ve been doing that a lot lately. I’m super grateful for the people that have heard it shared their own truth and there was still room to continue the relationship in a better way. Thanks for this one lady. You always inspire me.
This made a whole lot of sense to me, and FOR me. You are inspiring me to crawl out of the rabbit holes I've been in and, in an act of pure courage, open a substack channel.
And yes, to begin a draft of my first post in ages on it (I do have a couple of blog posts out of a couple of hardly ever utilized sites). I am asked by others to do the work about my truths. Time to get off my butt and get the word out...

How wonderful! Be sure to post the link! ❤️
I'm stuck...cannot 'publish' until I replace the template text. Whatever that means???
I place the cursor over publish and I get a notice that reads "Please replace the template text before you publish"
Just figured it out, sorry to bother you!
I would reach out to Substack tech. They’re very responsive.
Asha! One of your best!
Thanks, E Jean!
