I naturally tell stories about myself, some raw, others funny, many somewhat risky.
Those are the most practical guidelines I have read on if, when and how to “spill my guts” with vulnerability so I don’t hurt others I love or embarrass myself.

Thank you.
I am at a juncture of vulnerability. I am a former journalist who pivoted to nonprofit communications for 15 years. At 64, I am now considering a life of semi-retirement with coaching and writing.
I am researching if Substack is a smart platform for me. This and your other tips help.
My vulnerability platform for several years has been medium. I have written articles under the semi – pseudonym of M.M. O’Keefe. My middle name is Michael so the initials are accurate but when people in the industry I used to work for Googled my name they had to scroll down quite a bit and click to figure out M.M. is actually me. I have only occasionally written there as of late but still have a good collection of Medium stories on a variety of topics.
Focus is another challenge for me.
My new idea for integrated focus is to tell personal and practically helpful stories about ONE broad topic on Substack that could be curated and aggregated into a book.
Now that I am not working full-time I feel liberated and uninhibited to lower the drawbridge of my heart to a wider audience.
But my wife is very private.
Your guidelines are helpful to take it slow and never hit publish when I am emotional.
I am Irish. So I am often emotional.
I will keep reading more from experts like you before I start writing here.
I am Mr. Vulnerability. I am Irish.
