5 Steps to Build Confidence & Navigate Food Allergy Vulnerabilities

The latest podcast episode of Exploring Food Allergy Families was inspired by stories I've read about within food allergy support groups, experiences my clients (and I) have had, and of course, Brene Brown! You truly can't explore the topic of vulnerability without including what Brene's research has unveiled.

Vulnerability felt like an important topic to begin discussing because the truth is, we will all feel feelings of vulnerability throughout our lives. When we fall in love. When we put ourselves out there for others to see. And of course, when we navigate life with food allergies or other allergic conditions. 

This 15-minute episode covers the following aspects of vulnerability:

• The standard definition versus Brene Brown's definition
• HOW and IF weakness plays a role in vulnerability
• Real life examples from Brene's research
• What role time plays in vulnerability and lack of confidence in managing allergies
• Food allergy-related vulnerability examples
• 5 steps to work WITH vulnerability rather than AGAINST it

You can find Episode 03 here. Missed the other episodes covering the intro to the podcast (4 mins), and what survey responses from 90 food allergy dads revealed (26 mins)?

Find them here via the podcast website, or find Exploring Food Allergy Families on your favorite podcast app!

Additionally, below is the "Take Home Challenge" handout associated with Episode 03, which can also be found in the "Exploring Food Allergy Families Podcast - Take Home Challenge" section of the Food Allergy Mental Health Resource page.

And while it may be tempting to just read the handout without listening to the episode, the additional context within the episode is extremely helpful as well!
