How Breaking Down Your Walls Can Set You Free
Introducing Soft Armor: Strength of Vulnerability
Growing up in New York City in
the ’90s was a test of endurance. The city never slept, and neither did its lessons. I witnessed things no child should—violence, drugs, even murder. Vulnerability? That was a liability. The world taught me early on that vulnerability was dangerous, so I armored myself with independence, resilience, and an unwavering belief that I could only rely on myself. I climbed the corporate ladder, perfected the art of control, and became the woman who always had it together.
But beneath the polished exterior was a different story. I wasn’t just succeeding—I was performing. And deep down, I felt like a fraud.
For years, I convinced myself I was unlucky in love, that love—real, deep, transformative love— I yearned for wasn’t for me. Not because I didn’t want it, but because I didn’t know how to let it in. I had spent my life keeping people at arm’s length, thinking it kept me safe. In reality, it was keeping me stuck.
Is this what life is about? Always being on guard, hiding behind a tough exterior?
If you’ve ever yearned for love so deeply it ached, but feared that letting someone see your heart meant giving them the power to shatter it… If you’ve held back, afraid that loving with your whole soul would lead to betrayal, abandonment, or the unbearable pain of choosing the wrong person… I see you. I am you.
If you’ve ever felt like you had to be “the strong one,” like your walls are the only thing keeping you safe, I want you to know:
Love isn’t the enemy. Fear is. And the only way to heal is to stop hiding.
