Vulnerability is often viewed as a scary word.

We can associate the word with being attacked or immediately get defensive when we hear the word.

On this episode of The Imperfect Cafe, Darryl and his son Thomas will explore vulnerability, what it means, how we are vulnerable on a daily basis, and what the benefits of being vulnerable can be.

They will do this by talking about the situation involving Darryl's guide dog Drake. Drake goes everywhere with Darryl and has become a big part of Darryl's life.

Drake provides a great look at how vulnerability works and why it is necessary.
