Why Vulnerability Is Your Greatest Authority with Asa Yee

(Episode #371)

Why do we tend to think someone will think less of us when we admit we're struggling?

This week, Zoey’s dear friend Asa Yee, host of Monsoon Season, joins her for a conversation about vulnerability as authority. Asa spent years working behind the scenes with successful founders, seeing the doubt that never made it into their public stories. In her own work, she’s decided to let people see her while she’s figuring it out. Together, they talk about staying soft when you’ve always been called too sensitive, and the urge to apologize after letting someone see how you really feel.

In this episode, we talk about:
