This week, we’re talking about something that looks easy on the internet but feels hard in real life: how to be vulnerable without losing your peace.

I get into what real authenticity actually is, why self-protection isn’t a flaw, how to tell the difference between hiding and listening to your body, and why discernment matters when you’re sharing your story. We talk Matthew 7:6, Brené Brown’s vulnerability hangover, over-explaining as a survival reflex, and the quiet confidence that comes with finally trusting yourself.

If you’ve ever posted something and immediately regretted it, or opened up to the wrong person and felt exposed after—this one’s for you.

Listen in for a real conversation about vulnerability, authenticity, boundaries, healing, and learning how much of yourself to share.

If this episode hits something in you, send it to a friend who gets it, follow the show on Spotify, and come hang with me on Instagram at @idkmybffjude. Bonus episodes will still be dropping during the mid-season break—so don’t go anywhere.
