In this podcast episode, Amy Robeson passionately explores the transformative power of vulnerability in the journey to break down emotional walls. Emphasizing the magic that unfolds internally and externally when one permits vulnerability and welcomes support, Amy shares personal insights on trust, generational healing, and finding balance in life areas. The episode concludes with an enthusiastic invitation for listeners to join the Soul Evolution extravaganza Masterclass series for a Free exploration of self-discovery and growth at amyheals.com.
There's something magical that happens when you give yourself permission to be vulnerable to invite support in and to willingly receive support from others. Let me say that again. There's something really magical that happens to you internally and externally in your reality when you give yourself permission to be vulnerable and to receive support from others.
Magical doors open up when we are willing and able to do this. And I say willing and able because willing comes first. We have to willingly be able to do it. And then able means that you have a support system in place or you give people the opportunity to be that support system for you. Able also means that it's okay if that support system doesn't show up because you know another support system will.
Embracing vulnerability allows us to break down walls that were created from past experiences. When we create these walls, what ends up happening is we shield ourselves from others because we don't trust them or we don't feel that they will support us or show up in the proper way for us.
But what happens is when you're vulnerable, you give yourself permission to start chipping away or smashing the walls down that were created from previous experiences. And these walls can be created from big traumatic events or small traumatic events.
The walls are created sometimes out of necessity to keep you safe at that moment in time. And the more that we give ourselves permission to break down these walls, the more that we can actually trust ourselves in entrusting others…
And this can be really complicated and really difficult and really challenging for some people, especially when you've been hurt in the past. And people sometimes hurt people on purpose. Sometimes they don't realize they hurt others. I always have this saying that I'm going to do better than what my Mom did for me as a child…
And I want my daughter to do better than what I'm able to do for her, and so on and so forth. And I know that my mom, from my perspective, did better than the set of tools that she was given as a child. And my grandma did the same thing. She was given a set of tools, and she did better than the set of tools that she was given.
Each generation has the opportunity to break cycles. Cycles are so crucial and so important to break because they prevent you from shining your light fully. Sometimes, adults do really crummy things to children…
And adults do really crummy things to adults as well because we're all wounded children in some way, shape, or form. It's how the wounded child shows up when you are in a certain situation, and you're able to then look at the wounded child and go, “That's coming from a state of lacking in wholeness. That's coming from a state of importance!” And what I mean by that…
We all are wounded children in some way, shape, or form, and our wounded child can be any age. It can be 30 years old, and it can be two years old. When the wounded child shows up, the wounded child is fighting for its life because it doesn't want to be hurt, but it doesn't know any other way. And so when the wounded child shows up, we want to invite the wounded child to receive support, to be vulnerable, to be held, to be willing to trust. And that can be so hard for some people!
Addressing trust issues is essential for personal growth, preventing self-inflicted harm while protecting our light.
I know that it took me a long time to trust men in a particular way because I didn't want to be hurt. And I know that that goes the same for men and women, where it doesn't matter what gender it is. When trust is an issue, what we end up doing is we end up hurting ourselves…
And yes, We want to protect ourselves, but we don't want to protect ourselves to the point where we're dimming our light or we're missing out on opportunities because we are scared of being hurt.
Being vulnerable and embracing vulnerability allows for healing, breaking down walls, and inviting support into our lives. There are so many times that people do not speak up for themselves or share things that they want or desire to have, or they're unwilling to be vulnerable because they've been hurt in the past…
And it's so beautiful when you witness someone being vulnerable, talking about how they were hurt or talking about what they're scared of and what they're afraid of. And when they start to be vulnerable, those walls start to naturally break down, and the willingness and openness of the heart start to invite support in. Reminder: It doesn't happen like a snap of a finger. It happens very gradually.
Finding balance in all areas of life is crucial, preventing imbalances that can hinder overall well-being.
I just hosted an intimate retreat, and everybody at this retreat got a love seat, so everybody could focus on something that they wanted to focus on. It could be business, something personal, relationships, It could be anything. What it comes down to is the willingness to be vulnerable, honest, and open about what's going on in your life so you can fully receive support in that area. That one area impacts all the areas of your life.
No matter what, the balance has to be made in all areas of our lives in order for something to run smoothly, and something means your life, your life as a whole, and your being as a whole.
Because if we only focus on one area of our life, the other areas start to fall and start to dip and start not to be a priority. For example, if you're a workaholic and you work, work, work, work, work, work, chances are your relationships are going to suffer…
And those areas of your life, maybe romance or maybe family or friends or colleagues, they're going to suffer because you're not making the space or time to cultivate healthy relationships, which also means the area of your life and fun and leisure start to crumble because you're only working.
Same thing as if you're, let's say, a health nut, and you're focusing on your health, which we all want to focus on our health, and we do want to work. There's balance in all of these areas…
But if we get hyper-fixated and hyper-focused, where all of the other areas start to crumble, or some of the other areas of our life start to crumble, what ends up happening is we create major imbalances in our lives.
Life is a juggling act, requiring vulnerability and support to find balance in various aspects of our lives.
Throughout our lifetime, we are juggling finding balance in any and all areas of our lives so we can be fulfilled. Embracing vulnerability and support allows us to find balance because we're inviting support into these areas of our lives. And sometimes support just means someone listening to you. Sometimes support means someone doing something for you. Sometimes support can be both and so much more. I know for me, support is beyond necessary. This is something that I set the intention for on a constant basis so that when I'm struggling with something, I will find the right support system for it.
Vulnerability and support enable healing, providing opportunities for self-discovery and growth.
Support can be someone or something that's going to support me with it or a group or organization. Vulnerability is the willingness to be vulnerable when there is an opportunity for healing to occur. Also, it could be vice versa, where it's like, you're struggling. Let's be vulnerable so that you can notice and shine a light on what wants to be healed…
Because once something's revealed, it can be healed. And being vulnerable and being honest allows that to happen. I know sometimes for me, I will struggle with putting my finger on the pulse of what is stressing me out sometimes because I'm juggling too many things.
Then when I take a step back, and I give myself permission to strip away all of it, and then I look at it, how do I feel if I took that away? This is being vulnerable. This is being honest. This is being truthful. I'll get a clear answer on, No, that's not it. I really do want to do that, and I do really feel good about that. It's something else that's stressing me out, something else that's not allowing me to feel balanced. And sometimes, it's an accumulation of many decisions that have gotten me to that point.
And that's the part where we got to be vulnerable and honest with ourselves. And I think that talking to someone, and that could be a professional, a friend, a family member, a colleague, or a coworker, is so crucial because you have the opportunity to, one, be held in a safe container, and you have the ability to do that for someone else as well. And then you also get an opportunity to hear yourself. So when you're venting ever, when you're being vulnerable, listen to the words that you're saying. Feel what you're saying because when you're feeling what you're saying, when you're hearing what you're saying, you're witnessing yourself being vulnerable. You're witnessing yourself opening up. You're witnessing yourself breaking down walls. And that's something to be proud of. And being proud of yourself is an amazing thing as well. I remember the first time I told myself that I was proud of myself, and I was like, whoa. I didn't realize how badly my soul was craving those words of affirmation. I am so proud of you. And sometimes, society teaches us not to be prideful. And yes, too much of something is going to be harmful to someone.
Acknowledging and being proud of our achievements is a vital aspect of self-care and vulnerability. If you've never told yourself you're proud of yourself, oh my Lord, let me tell you how healing that is!
Take inventory of the things that you have recently done.
Take inventory of what you just did last year, this month, or this week…
And tell yourself you're proud of yourself. Look yourself in the mirror, say your name, and say, “I am so proud of you for doing…” and then fill in the blank.
This is another way of being vulnerable and being honest with yourself because we deserve to feel good as souls having a human experience. You deserve to feel good as a soul having a human experience.
A human experience is a complicated experience that involves many emotions and experiences that don't always feel good. This is where the soul has the opportunity to evolve, and that's what we're here to do. We're here to evolve. The more that we recognize that opportunity, the more that we have that opportunity to have self-discovery.
Positive attention from others, such as friends, family, and mentors, can fuel personal growth and self-discovery. Vulnerability and inviting support in allows you to have a self-discovery!
I know the first time that I had someone outside of my family who really believed in me as an adult truly changed my life…
Because when we have someone cheering us on, going: “You can do this.! You got this! You're amazing!” It creates an opportunity to meet an aspect of yourself that's craving that attention. It's okay to crave that attention. There's balance.
We don't want to feed the ego so much that that's the only way that you take action on something, and it's okay to have that attention. Some people have never had that attention in their lives before, and it's so beyond necessary.
Having support systems, having friends, family members, relationships, coaches, healers, and teachers who are cheering you on and who believe in you, allows you to be even more vulnerable so that you can break through more of the walls that want to come down so your true authentic self can be birthed and be born and to really live the life that you're really wanting to live. And it's totally up to you. And it's really amazing if you think about it. Like, truly, truly amazing.
True growth happens when we embrace discomfort and navigate through challenges with courage and vulnerability.
Growth opportunities happen when you're willing to go through a mess that is uncomfortable because healing is uncomfortable.
But once you get through it, it feels freaking amazing because you're like: “Yeah, I did that, and I didn't die. I survived it, and it's amazing. Let me celebrate this!”
Celebrating moments of courage and vulnerability is essential, recognizing personal growth and resilience. I want to invite you to celebrate it. You should be able to celebrate it because that was hard and that was challenging, and it took a lot of courage to be brave enough to be vulnerable and break down those walls and open yourself up to new possibilities. And I want to encourage you to continue to do it because you deserve it, my friend.

We don't want to protect ourselves to the point where we're dimming our light, or we're missing out on opportunities because we are scared of being hurt. Hello, and welcome to today's episode. I am so excited you are here. There's something magical that happens when you give yourself permission to be vulnerable and to invite support in and to willingly receive the support from others. Let me say that again. There's something really magical that happens to you internally and externally in your reality when you give yourself permission to be vulnerable and to receive support from others. Magical doors open up when we are willing and able to do this. And I say willing and able because willing comes first. We have to willingly be able to do it. And then able means that you have a support system in place or you give people the opportunity to be that support system for you. Able also means that it's okay if that support system doesn't show up because you know another support system will. Vulnerability allows us to break down walls that were created from past experiences. When we create these walls, what ends up happening is we shield ourselves from others because we don't trust them or we don't feel that they will support us or show up in the proper way for us.
But what happens is when you're vulnerable, you give yourself permission to start chipping or smashing the walls down that were created from previous experiences. And these walls can be created from big traumatic events or small traumatic events. The walls are created sometimes out of necessity to keep you safe at that moment in time. And the more that we give ourselves permission to break down these walls, the more that we can actually trust ourselves in entrusting in others. And this can be really complicated and really difficult and really challenging for some people, especially when you've been hurt in the past. And people sometimes hurt people on purpose. Sometimes they don't realize they hurt others. I always have this saying that I'm going to do better than what my mom did for me as a child, and I want my daughter to do better than what I'm able to do for her, and so on and so forth. And I know that my mom, from my perspective, did better than the set of tools that she was given as a child. And my grandma did the same thing. She was given a set of tools, and she did better than the set of tools that she was given.
And each generation has the opportunity to break cycles. And cycles are so crucial and so important to break because they prevent you from shining your light fully. And Sometimes, adults do really crummy things to children, and adults do really crummy things to adults as well because we're all wounded children in some way, shape, or form. Hey, friend, if you would like to have a soul evolution and a self-discovery, I want to invite you to an amazingly free event that is going to be an extravaganza. We are going to do a 10-day free masterclass series where we are going to do healings. We are going to do readings, we are going to talk about how your soul wants to evolve and how you can manifest your best life using the Akashic records. You're going to receive ancestral healings, soul healings, and so much more. You can go to amyheals.com to sign up for this series. Amyheels.com to sign up for this series. It's absolutely free. And if you can't make it to the live event, you can absolutely catch the replays. All right. See you soon. It's how the wounded child shows up when you are in a certain situation, and you're able to then look at the wounded child and go, that's coming from a state of lacking in wholeness.
That's coming from a state of importance. And what I mean by that is we all are wounded children in some way, shape, or form, and our wounded child can be at any age. It can be 30 years old, and it can be two years old. When the wounded child shows up, the wounded child is fighting for its life because it doesn't want to be hurt, but it doesn't know any other way. And so when the wounded child shows up, we want to invite the wounded child to receive support, to be vulnerable, to be held, to be willing to trust. And that can be so hard for some people, so, so hard. I know that it took me a long time to trust men in a particular way because I didn't want to be hurt. And I know that that goes the same for men and women, where it doesn't matter what gender it is. It's like we have these Trust Issues. And when trust is an issue, what we end up doing is we end up hurting ourselves. And yes, we want to protect ourselves, but we don't want to protect ourselves to the point where we're dimming our light, or we're missing out on opportunities because we are scared of being hurt.
And there are so many times that people do not speak up for themselves or share things that they want or desire to have, or they're unwilling to be vulnerable because they've been hurt in the past. And it's so beautiful when you witness someone being vulnerable, talking about how they were hurt or talking about what they're scared of and what they're afraid of. And when they start to be vulnerable, those walls start to naturally break down. The willingness and openness of the heart to start to invite support in. And it doesn't happen like a snap of a finger. It happens very gradually. I just hosted an intimate retreat, and everybody at this retreat got a love seat, so everybody could focus on something that they wanted to focus on. And it could be business, it could be something personal, it could be relationships, it could be anything. And what it comes down to is the willingness to be vulnerable on and open about what's going on in your life so you can fully receive support in that area. But that one area impacts all the areas of your life. So it's like, balance has to be made in all areas of our lives in order for something to run smoothly.
And something means your life, your life as a whole, your being as a whole. Because if we only focus on one area of our the other areas start to fall and start to dip and start not to be a priority. For example, if you're a workaholic and you work, work, work, work, work Relationships are going to suffer. And those areas of your life, maybe romance or maybe family or friends or colleagues, they're going to suffer because you're not making the space or time to cultivate healthy relationships, which also means your area of your life and fun and leisure starts to dip because you're only working. Same thing as if you're, let's say, a health nut, and you're focusing on your health, which we all want to focus on our health, and we do want to work. There's balance in all of these areas. But if we get hyper-fixated and hyper-focused, where all of the other areas start to crumble, or some of the other areas of our life start to crumble, what ends up happening is we create major imbalances in our life. And this is where vulnerability and support are so beyond necessary because this is not an Oh, it's an only me thing, or it's an only you thing.
This is the juggling act of life. Throughout our lifetime, we are juggling finding balance in any and all areas of our life so we can be fulfilled. And vulnerability and support allow us to find balance because we're inviting support into these areas of our life. And sometimes support just means someone listening to you. Sometimes support means someone doing something for you. Sometimes support can be both and so much more. I know for me, This support is beyond necessary. This is something that I set the intention for on a constant basis so that when I'm struggling with something, I will find the right support system for it. And support can be someone or something that's going to support me with it or a group or organization. Vulnerability is the willingness to be vulnerable when there is an opportunity for healing to occur. Also, it could be vice versa, where it's like you're struggling, let's be vulnerable so that you can notice and shine a light on what wants to be healed. Because once something's revealed, it can be healed. And being vulnerable and being honest allows that to happen. I know sometimes for me, I will struggle with putting my finger on the pulse of what is stressing me out sometimes because if I'm juggling too many things.
And then when I take a step back, and I give myself permission to strip away all of it, and then I look at it from, how do I feel if I took that away? This is being vulnerable. This is being honest. This is being truthful. I'll get a clear answer on, no, that's not it. I really do want to do that. And I do really feel good about that.

And then you also get an opportunity to hear yourself. So When you're venting ever, when you're being vulnerable, listen to the words that you're saying. Feel what you're saying. Because when you're feeling what you're saying, when you're hearing what you're saying, you're witnessing yourself be vulnerable.
You're witnessing yourself open up. You're witnessing yourself breaking down walls. And that's something to be proud of. And being proud of yourself is an amazing thing as well. I remember the first time I told myself I was proud of myself, and I was like, whoa, I didn't realize how badly my soul was craving those words of affirmation. I am so proud of you. And sometimes, society teaches us not to be prideful. And yes, anything of too much of something is going to be harmful to someone. But if you've never told yourself you're proud of yourself, oh, my Lord, let me tell you how healing that is. Take inventory of the things that you have recently done. Take inventory of what you just did last year or this month, or this week. And tell yourself you're proud of yourself. Look yourself in the mirror and say your name and say, I am so proud of you for doing, and then fill in the blank. And this is another way of being vulnerable and being honest with yourself because we deserve to feel good as souls having a human experience. You deserve to feel good as a soul having a human experience.
A human experience is a complicated experience that involves many emotions and many experiences that don't always feel good. But this is where the soul has the opportunity to evolve. And that's what we're here to do. We're here to evolve. And the more that we recognize that opportunity, the more that we have that opportunity to have self-discovery and vulnerability, and inviting support in allows that to happen. It so allows that to happen. I know the first time that I had someone who really believed in me as an adult and not my own family, really believed in me, it was something that truly changed my life. Because when we have someone cheering us on, going, You can do this. You got this. You're amazing. It creates an opportunity to meet an aspect of yourself that's craving that attention. And it's okay to crave that attention. There's balance. We don't want to feed the ego so much that that's the only way that you take action on something. It's okay to have that attention. Some people have never had that attention in their life before, and it's so beyond necessary. Having support systems, having friends, family members, relationships, coaches, healers, and teachers who are cheering you on and who believe in you allow you to be even more vulnerable so that you can break through more of the walls that want to come down so your true authentic self can be birthed and be born and to really live the life that you're really wanting to live.
And it's totally up to you. And it's really amazing if you think about it. Like, truly, truly amazing. Growth opportunities happen while you're uncomfortable. Growth opportunities happen when you're willing to go through the mess that is uncomfortable because healing is uncomfortable. But once you get through it, it feels freaking amazing because you're like, Yeah, I did that, and I didn't die. I survived it, and it's amazing. And let me celebrate this. I want to invite you to celebrate it. You should be able to celebrate it because That was hard and that was challenging, and it took a lot of courage to be brave enough to be vulnerable and break down those walls and open yourself up to new possibilities. And I want to encourage you to continue to do it because you deserve it, my friend. All right, my friend, I hope you enjoyed today's episode. Please make sure you like and subscribe and share this with a friend and be willing to be vulnerable and be supportive. All right. Bye.
