There is so much going on, I just wanted to send you guys a lot of love. Finding these really helpful. May your stories find safe harbour in the presence of people who will honour your vulnerability and resilience. Also, gentle reminder, we don’t need to solve people’s problems for them. More accurately, we can’t. And they often aren’t asking us to. But we can be there for them and support them. And if we don’t have the capacity to, we are allowed to say that we can’t. And vice versa. (This is all referring to interpersonal relationships)

Here’s to loving all the ones who we are.

認識 James 的時候覺得他是一個很好玩的人，很高的社交能量。可以一起歡樂，也是可以一起在咖啡廳認真 hustle 工作或是專研自我成長的好朋友。我們在自我成長的話題上有許多相似處跟認同的理念，正好有一次在他在做 self review relfection 的時候在咖啡店遇到。每次聊都有很棒的收穫，就覺得應該直接邀 James 上節目。

那時候是節目的剛開始，聊起來特別放鬆，我特別喜歡的一點是 James 很沒有偶像包袱開放的分享很多私人的故事，其中一個重點就是面對失敗。大學沒考上目標，被裁員，自學，創業失敗，到現在的西雅圖科技工師創業大成功。『成功的人沒有不經過失敗的，只是爬起來繼續前進的次數比一般人多了一點』。之後很多科技業或是新創界的聽眾都有跟我說 - 受到這集 James 的 grit 跟面對失敗感動想要奮發圖強。
我也深深體會到做節目訪談的過程，一個來賓有多願意放下包袱，真誠的分享自己人生遇過的種種難關，不只是事業上，甚至家庭，才會真正的跟我還有聽眾們產生強大的連結，才會更有深度也更有意義的學習一個人的人生觀跟故事。這集也對我之後做節目的願景有很正面的影響，謝謝 James 當初沒有保留的 openess & vulnerability🙌🏻

如果還沒聽過的新朋友，非常建議回到這個節目開始不久的這一集，聽過的朋友可以再聽一遍或是享受這篇經典回顧文章！

之前在直播常跟粉絲朋友推薦書籍，想在podcast多聊聊我對這些書籍的心得，所以之後會常跟大家做分享喔！
今天這集想聊聊這陣子很喜歡閱讀的書籍《脆弱的力量》-布芮尼．布朗博士
我因為時常感到脆弱，所以對這個議題很有興趣，我摘取濃縮了一些重點：
什麼是脆弱？脆弱會如何呈現？脆弱如何展現力量？
脆弱其實是對於未知的恐懼，不安、焦慮，極需同情與歸屬感。
我們害怕被人發現真實，感到自卑，覺得自己不夠好，因此被扼殺了生產力、創造力，我們自己就是最大的敵人，如果我們能意識到自卑，就能意識到自己內心的強大，我也正在學習將自卑轉換成同理心，對自己展現同理心，包容自己的不完美，因為世上從沒有完美，放自己一馬吧！

我們在日常試著學習：
1. 讓自己的脆弱和不完美被看見
2. 學習勇敢去愛
3. 練習感恩的習慣
4. 勇於求助

讓脆弱展現力量，你就能更強大！
不論脆弱與否，我們都要閃閃發光！

節目的最後，送上《愛到明仔載》，這是我在很脆弱的時候創作出的作品，創作後我得到了力量，希望也能傳達給你們！

Sharing one of my favourite books and TED Talks of all time - “The Power of Vulnerability” by Brene Brown. Do you numb vulnerability? Do you always try to make the uncertain certain? Do you fear imperfection? Are you the one who’s scared to be the first to say “I love you”?

This episode is for anyone and everyone because we can all appreciate vulnerability a little better. May we learn to have more compassion not just for others but also for ourselves.

I am so excited to talk to the wonderful Lina Vasquez today! Lina and I realised we have a lot in common - growing up internationally and questioning who we really are in a world full of cultures and languages. We talk about blending into a new culture, vulnerability, multilingual meditation, struggling to express yourself in a language and much more. She shares her language stories and we open up about how our view of languages and life has changed over the years.

We also did a video for her channel which you can watch here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fst3Uss9pRE&t=770s
