Why would you want to be more vulnerable in dating? According to Brené Brown, “Vulnerability is uncertainty, risk, and emotional exposure. It’s that unstable feeling we get when we step out of our comfort zone or do something that forces us to loosen control. In fact, vulnerability is the core, the heart, the center of meaningful human experiences. It’s the first thing I look for in you and the last thing I’m willing to show you. In you, it’s courage and daring. In me, it’s weakness.” In this episode of Sundays With Sandy, learn five ways to become more vulnerable in dating. Because when you’re more vulnerable, you connect more authentically and deeply with a potential partner. If you want a meaningful relationship, you’re going to want to listen to this short episode! ►Please subscribe/rate and review the podcast on Apple Podcasts http://bit.ly/lastfirstdateradio  ►If you’re feeling stuck in dating and relationships and would like to find your last first date, sign up for a complimentary 45-minute breakth
