✨2025 VOLNERABLE RECAP✨ What’s YOUR favorite thing about yourself?✨

As 2025 comes to a close, I wanted to reflect on all we have accomplished this year on The VOlnerable podcast. I’m proud of myself for starting it and getting the conversation about mental health and vulnerability going in our community. I’m even MORE proud of our amazing guests for showing all of their strength and heart. Lastly, I’m MOST proud of you - YES YOU! For being here, for making it through the year, and for coming out on top every single time. You’ve proven you can handle anything and I can’t WAIT to see what you accomplish in 2026.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart to @ezraweisz @jpat_person @jennyyokobori @aiden_dawn @ariananicolegeorge @thekatesea @johnericbentley and @itsdayeannehutton ❤️

Thank you so much @voyagelamag for featuring me in “Portraits of the Valley” and allowing me to share my story on behalf of my podcast: @thevolnerable ☀️❤️

I’ve interviewed a number of guests about their journeys but I’ve never actually shared the tale of how I got to where I am and what inspired me to jump into voice acting as a career with a focus on mental health. I encourage you to check it out if you’re interested! Link in bio🥰

Thank you @thekatesea for the rec! by @break.character

Voice Actor JAYME MANTOS’s @jaymemantos episode is LIVE!!!🤩

What started as an introduction into Jayme’s life quickly became something more as we tackled subjects such as depression and anxiety, as well as Jayme’s drive to use her experiences to become an advocate for others. But things got even more vulnerable when both Jayme and Kennedy came clean about the way they were feeling that day and the doubts they were having. This is an episode about resilience, honesty, and how we are perfect in imperfection!

You can WATCH on YouTube, or LISTEN on Spotify! Link in bio!❤️

Our newest episode with @jaymemantos is out TOMORROW! But as you can see, when we filmed, I felt so self-conscious! But after editing the whole thing, I can now confidently say I had no reason to worry or feel ashamed. The honesty, the vulnerability…all of it made me and Jayme feel closer and allowed for a rare moment of real humanity that you don’t find on most podcasts.

Its imperfect, it’s messy, and it’s beautiful. See you tomorrow!❤️ by @break.character

No episode this week because your host is silly! But that’s ok because everyone makes mistakes and they’re nothing to be ashamed of! So STAY TUNED for NEXT week where we dive deep with the fabulous Jayme Mantos @jaymemantos !!🥰🌟 by @break.character

If you have 2 minutes and 39 seconds, I’d like you to watch this. I normally share small clips, but this feels too important.

Hunter Peterson @hitherehunter (Honkai Star Rail, Limenade, SCP explained) shares the story of why he avoided character work and the emotions that come from it, and how he ended up facing it all. Facing outselves…facing grief, is never easy. But how beautiful for Hunter to be able to go through that journey and for the performance to be immortalized and shared with all of us in his performance of Lord Gneaus in #honkaistarrail

For the full story, you can watch Hunter’s episode on YouTube or spotify. Link in bio❤️

A new episode of “Breaking Character” is HERE with the one and only voice actor, youtube extraordinaire, and all around awesome human, Hunter Peterson! @hitherehunter 🌟

We explored Hunter’s journey through burnout, grief, and pressure of always being “on”. From losing himself in nonstop work to finally slowing down and confronting the emotions he once avoided, this conversation dives deep into what it means to face your truth. Along the way, we will talk about identity, emotional vulnerability, and how embracing your experiences can transform not just your performances, but your life.❤️
