The Art of Being Vulnerable
~ Elizabeth Pozoglou

We build up invisible walls without even realising we’re doing it.
Why?

Much of it goes back to the first time we ever encountered hurt—
A fear,
A painful experience
That taught us to see the world through a lens of caution.
From that point on, fear begins to guide us,
Holding us back from moving forward,
From trusting the unknown.

Instead of allowing ourselves to become vulnerable,
We keep our guard up—
Protecting ourselves from the pain we once felt,
Afraid of letting it happen again.

But holding on to that fear stunts our growth.
It stops us from learning, expanding,
And opening our hearts to the kind of healthy vulnerability
That is necessary for deep and meaningful connection.

I’ve been there.
I’ve experienced it firsthand.
I’ve pushed people away—people I love—
Out of fear.
Fear of letting them in.
Fear of letting my guard down.

I’m sure many of you can relate.
But here’s the truth:
Living like that only holds us back
From our full potential—
From truly being at peace with ourselves
And having fulfilling relationships
With the people who matter most.

The art of being vulnerable
Is understanding that you are not your past.
All you can take from the past
Are the lessons it taught you.
Be thankful for them—
Then let them go.

Being vulnerable means showing up
As a high-value person—
First and foremost, for yourself—
And then extending that to the people around you.
When you add value to your own life,
You add value to the lives of others.
After all,
What good are you to anyone
If you aren’t first good to yourself?

I dare you to be vulnerable
With all the depth of your soul—
And watch your fears disintegrate.

Nobody said it would be easy.
But it will be worth it.

Are you familiar with the “Let Them” theory?

I’ll tell you the more I grow the more I am okay with accepting the “Let Them” in my own life and relationships. Even family can mistreat and disrespect you.

This is something that took me a very long time to learn. I used to tolerate a lot because I didn't want to lose people. I learned the hard way if they were really my people they would never treat me like that. Don't make the mistake of being so understanding and forgiving that you overlook the fact that you're being repeatedly disrespected.

Let them be upset.
Let them judge you.
Let them misunderstand you.
Let them gossip about you,
Let them ignore you.
Let them be "right."
Let them doubt you.
Let them not like you.
Let them not speak to you.
Let them run your name in the ground.
Let them make you out to be the villain.
Whatever it is that people want to say about you, let them!
Kindly step aside and LET THEM.

The hard truth is they know how much they are hurting you. They just simply don't care. They did it knowing it could cause them to lose you. They did it anyway. People that love you care about how they make you feel.
The end.
Let them go.

There will be people that would rather lose you than be honest about what they've done to you. Let them go.

The lack of respect was the closure. The lack of apology was the closure. The lack of care was the closure. The lack of acountability was the closure. The lack of honestly was the closure. Let them go.

Make the decision to no longer sit at tables where you might be the topic when you get up. Let them go.

You can still be kind. You can even still love them deeply. But do it from the distance they created in their words and actions. Access to you is a privilege they have proven they can’t be trusted with. Let them go.

You don’t need to tell your side of the story. God already knows. Let God fight the battle for you. Let them go.

It’s taken me a long time to get here. Sleepless nights, countless tears, managing a range of emotions filled with anger, disappointment, confusion and deep hurt. Lots of self reflection, self preservation, deep prayer and seeking wisdom from those much wiser than me.

If you are struggling with this please know you are not alone. We will never understand why hurt people hurt people. But we can do the hard work to grow ourselves. Because healed people do in fact heal people.

Don’t you dare let them steal your joy.
Don’t you dare let them steal your light.
Don’t you dare let them steal your peace.
You are in control of that.

Hold tight to what you can control and release your grip on what you can’t control.

Let them go.

Beware of relationships with people without strong emotional intelligence. They will never understand you, they will personalize everything and you will never be seen or heard.

Beware of relationships with people who cannot regulate their emotions, you will always be at the mercy of their anger and bad mood.

Beware of relationships with people without self-awareness, they have no idea how their behavior affects the people around them so it is only a matter of time before they get hurt.

Beware of relationships with people without empathy, they will never see or care how you feel. If no one ever told you, I am telling you now.

Look for people in your life with strong emotional intelligence, self-awareness, empathy, and the ability to regulate their emotions, otherwise you will be at the mercy of their dysfunction and pay the price for their immaturity and lack of growth.

Even though you may want to move forward in your life, you may have one foot on the brakes. In order to be free, we must learn how to let go. Release the hurt. Release the fear. Refuse to entertain your old pain. The energy it takes to hang onto the past is holding you back from a new life. What is it you would let go of today?
