Gabrielle Union on Embracing Vulnerability and No Longer Going 50/50

In this episode, I sit down with the amazing Gabrielle Union-actress, producer, entrepreneur, and bestselling author-about what leaning into vulnerability really looks like.

From fertility to relationships to creating a life full of love and creativity, Gabrielle shares the lessons she wishes she'd known sooner-and wisdom to inspire you to get more curious and vulnerable.

We also talk about:

How reading fosters creativity and curiosity
Why the on-screen adaptations of your favorite reads often differ from the book
How to express creativity without worrying about who will consume it
What Gabrielle would tell her 30-year old self
