In this Tao Dialogues episode, David explores emotional vulnerability.

Have you ever wondered why you shield yourself from vulnerability? Have you convinced yourself that your protective armour keeps you safe when, in truth, it imprisons you and denies you genuine connection and growth?

This episode explores how to choose openness over fear, authenticity over illusion, and freedom over self-imposed limitations. Vulnerability is an act of trust, not in others, but in yourself. It is a quiet, powerful reclamation of who you have always been.
