Vulnerability is one of the areas I have struggled with for most of my life. Listening to others share their truth is inspiring and encouraging, It motivates me to be transparent about who I am.

Finally... a podcast that goes into the heart of being accepted as a human being. I appreciate how HUMXN goes right into the subjects that most people hide from.
