Let's Talk Vulnerability: Can it deepen your connections & transform your life?

[@livingandlovingtheword7507]

I think wayne has a lot of knowledge that he could share with the younger generation and men overall.Lets encourage him to starts his podcast and get some of his male friends to share their point of views on topics like these

[@altheadaley5736]

I am for that.

[@patriciamharris5664]

💯

[@bevblanchardholt6518]

I think when MTMers say that you guys are authentic, it simply means that what you show us is not staged, it is you guys living your life and choosing what to share with us. There isn’t a camera crew with lights, camera, action going on. There isn’t a producer to determine and create the content. You are the camera operators and life is the producer. Then Madame Editor goes in and does her thing on what you guys wish to make public. All the footage that doesn’t make it to MTM is still yours for your family to enjoy if you wish because all of it is real life unfolding.

[@Joward8]

Great topic. Valued perspective from Wayne in respective of his interactions with his sons. It is unique, generally. For me it's a joy to see that interaction between my husband and our Son...who is 27 by the way and never leaves home without hugging and kissing his Dad ( or me)... always express their love openly.🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹

[@bevblanchardholt6518]

Agreed Jo! ❤️

[@Rose-vv5ok]

I thing FB followers are very harsh ! Tami you are right, a lot of us would never attack folks on their page!

[@beverleycampbell4334]

As a child of God, we cannot please everyone, I am praying 🙏 for your family, I love your family 👪.

[@toydowden1918]

I love this segment with you and Wayne what a wonderful way of seeing things in a different light for us Caribbean people. You guys are true example.

[@cherrylyngardener1341]

This is just a different level of community vibes. I truly appreciate the openness.

[@jenwilli9832]

My HR guru, Dr Brene Brown said :Vulnerability is not weakness, its our most accurate measure of courage " 👈

[@normacoote9856]

Wow!!!!!!!❤

[@heathermoore1499]

Exactly! Unfortunately, not everyone sees it that way.

[@earthstrong_nat]

This topic definitely need to be continued on Wayne's first Podcast. I would love, Love, Love to hear other men's perspective, especially some of Jamaica's public figures.

[@afimiown4294]

The internet has TRULY given people more ways to be rude to others.

[@bebebe1354]

Can I tell you… very sad

[@Marie-pl3wn]

Yes, men need to be able to express their emotions without being ridiculed for it

[@sadiqaseaton1996]

this is why i love watching you guys... so real and relatable...

[@afimiown4294]

I struggle with being vulnerable, I’m truly guarded to my core.

[@girlyespodcastandcommunity7825]

I hear you. At 44 I am trying but it can be difficult.

[@denisepowell7218]

When you are true to yourself and know who you are then you couldn't care what anyone has to say as long as you set boundaries

[@heathermoore1499]

Don't feel alone, you're not my dear.

[@Sandramundy]

We got to see Mr. Wayne mostly from his comedic vybzey side on MTM so I enjoyed this episode of him being so transparent, honest and genuine. You guys ever notice that when men share from a vulnerable side they look so innocent; like a boyish charm comes back. 😅Love this! Jah know. ♥️

[@maureent.4898]

Yes, Wayne needs his channel now. It will be great. As a singer mother of 3 sons, I so admire Wayne's love for his children and wife. You can talk about being a PRESENT husband and father. Wayne Tackles Everything 😆 🤣

[@petafoster3625]

Thank you 😊 for tackling “vulnerability with a man. My husband is my best friend because we made a decision to be vulnerable with each other. Best relationship ever 🎉. Keep up the amazing openness with all us cousins.

[@elaineboydbrown7951]

Tammi and wayne are really meant for each other

[@bebebe1354]

Sometimes when you are vulnerable, people take it and tell others and now you become a topic of discussion in a negative way.

[@donnabrice3770]

That means that THEY have issues and are not true friends.

[@janetteguy9004]

Wayne love the way you hugs and kiss your sons why other people look at it in a diffrence way because the way they grewup with their parent /parents love you guys🥰💕

[@lanicelowver1]

So so true first cousins. As parents we are the one who are to foster positive relationships with our children

[@crystala4058]

I've noticed that a lot of celebrities/influencers never give the time of day to the positive comments on their posts. But they are always quick to clap back at the negative posts, and it's something I never understood. So I love that Wayne has the wisdom and appreciation for the positive supporters. Continue to focus your light and energy on those that love and appreciate what you do.

[@altheadaley5736]

So true

[@lindasamuels6932]

Good mental health

[@sharontate6442]

Wayne I admire your interaction with your sons. This is such a beautiful convo, I enjoyed it. 👏👏🤗😍

[@flaviabrown4467]

A persons authenticity or even their vulnerability is tied to there reality, their socialisation and how and what they are exposed to as such even a dad embracing and kissing their son(s) may be miscontrued,frowned upon not seem macho etc when otherwise it can be such a freeing positve thing..But yes guys you're talking truth.✌🏽

[@Trinity25Apr]

Authentic is warts and all with no embellishments, raw if you like. You can choose how Authentic you are comfortable with being and, you assume, people can take. People were getting close to real authenticity during the lockdown, emotions were high and the need to honestly express themselves was high but since things have reopened there is a resurgence of smoke and mirrors with some content providers. Looking at you as a couple with a young family, I (we) know that you don't put everything on display, why should you, but what you do share is authentic, unadulterated and very much appreciated content because it shows you are human and not untouchable and going through the grind just like us but, winning too which we can if we strive to and help lift others along the way.

[@robinambrosini1571]

I love what Brené Brown says; “There is no courage without vulnerability.”

[@ladenedennis2812]

Keep on with your best self your one of my best watch 🤗

[@ALittleMoreWithTiana]

“Vulnerability is underrated!” Yes! That is it!

[@berryberry7180]

Thank you for this...lessons taken: 1. Being vulnerable doesn't = negativity 2. My insecurities are powerful vulnerabilities 3. Embrace every part of me 4. People do not care as much as I perceive they do....relax, relate, release, & rest💗

[@jacquelinetaylor9361]

Well said🙏

[@Omega7ish]

Here, here we’ll said indeed! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

[@paulineforrester3963]

Please, please continue to kiss & love your children Wayne. We have too many brutal boys among us who are that way due to lack of love from their parents. 😭 Your children stand a higher chance of becoming loving, normal citizens & family members.👏🏾👏🏾💖

[@sherinegrant830]

I just love how Tami and wayne look at each other .you can see the love respect and passion

[@maricaplummer5418]

Tami I would love ❤️ to see Momo as a guest on this platform 😊. Please & thanks 🙏🏾

[@sashaunathompson1989]

It’s just amazing how content you need at that moment in your life finds its way to you…going through a rough time personally and being vulnerable with trusted persons have made a world of difference. Just being able to share and not being judged is just refreshing and in doing so I got recommendations to resources that I just was not able to find independently. Love this !

[@gigix3758]

Love this meaningful convo. I cannot & will not be vulnerable to prove my “realness” to anyone - because I’ve learned that not everyone deserves my vulnerability. Keep these meaningful topics coming Tami & Wayne - you guys are so impactful to our culture. I just love to see it❤

[@leesharose03]

This was a great episode, I think if we were all a little more vulnerable we would be more compassionate towards each other and more understanding because really we are more a like than we are different if you really think about it. A name for Wayne’s podcast: “Talk Di Tings”with Wayne Mitchell 😊

[@lyndaclarke9279]

You're right

[@lyndaclarke9279]

Talk the tings nuh bad it can gwaan.

[@sharis199]

[@altheadaley5736]

I love that...."talk di tings" with Wayne Mitchell

[@pathall9757]

I really love and enjoy this , Jamaica really needs more dad like Wayne, our boys need to be loved in every way so they can give love in return, God bless you and Wayne always Tami ,nuff love..thank you..

[@karlenesteele3436]

I appreciate this eye opening conversation. I love both your perspectives but want to mention that hearing from Wayne made a difference in this space.

[@carolpanton2469]

The way to go Wayne,grow your boys to be emotional...

[@rushellerowe9852]

This was a great topic Tami. Wayne said it best, a lot of people are scared to be vulnerable because of fear that people will take advantage of that vulnerability. I really appreciated this topic guys. I think Wayne can call his podcast “Say It Wayne” 😁.

[@serikaclarke1116]

Happy Saturday Guys nice to see Wayne back over by Tami tackle everything. So true Wayne set a trend for other fathers to emulate that it is ok to love on yours boys

[@Jamaicanbaby1031]

This was a lovely conversation. Vulnerability makes us feel shame sometimes so we dont share. Regarding “Ppl” dem just terrible and ungodly these days 🥺pray fi dem.

[@srrfounder1]

The lack of discretion and privacy these days warrants untrust so it makes sense that vulnerability would be a relevant topic of discuss- ion. Great video! ☺️✌️💚

[@markthomson809]

What a beautiful topic you should have more show like this. I learn a lot from you guys. Thank you so much.

[@lornareid7374]

Great episode Tami! Showing your vulnerable can makes you release some tension. It is always so refreshing to watch you and Wayne talk real talk!! We love ❤️ ❤❤you guys.

[@patriciayoung8475]

I love #MTM because you are both genuine and you allow us to see you at your most vulnerable points in your life. The humor you bring to real life situations makes us feel so connected to you. The family interactions and love demonstrated is what we need to see more of in this world. Let the love from all your fans/subscribers/first cousins 😊 dispel all negative comments that may come your way. Keep letting your light shine! ♥️🙏🏼

[@marybenoit6375]

This is so great to see a father kiss his children, more fathers needs to do that and our children would not look for it in other places. Wayne kiss your kids always, that is great.

[@mariecampbell8235]

Great explanation Wayne. Keeping the real "you"in the closet and touch the surface of the real issues

[@skcoutureskcouture4642]

Loved seeing Wayne over here and hearing how he has been vulnerable through the vlogs and how he loves on his boys! I am ready for Wayne’s podcast as well

[@viviennecyrus7487]

Very good interesting topic A lot of people in the Caribbean and especially Jamaica needs to change there mind set on those things! People look on things differently! Good Job D I Wayne! I hope others taking a page from ur book! Even tho I didn't use to those things when we were growing up I will never forget I came to Jamaica one year and my sis was going to work and I was going in the Town so took a public taxi and I was getting off before my sis! So I said to my sis! Later sis have a great day at work love u. ! my sis said love u to sis!! The taxi man say a wah kind a thing this woman a tell woman say them love them! So I said hold up dah! What's wrong with me telling my sister that I love her! A say u really back of the world! That's the only be way u can look at it!

[@rohangibbs3267]

So sad 😞

[@aleciaholness7836]

Omg I thoroughly enjoy this conversation....there is just such beauty and deepness to vulnerability. As a boy mom, I'm definitely not raising my son as how "society dictates". So thank you both for always being real and good examples in society.

[@adobadebellotte4851]

Well done Tami and Wayne. Very interesting conversation! Stay positive

Thank you Tami and Wayne. Great vlog, enjoyed and in total agreement about being vulnerable. Thanks for sharing and being so open to this topic.

[@triciabrown4487]

Whenever I see Wayne hugs and kisses his children, I think it is really sweet. I hope men will start doing this. It is very healthy. There will come a time when they won't want you to do it. So keep loving them up as much as you can. I love this conversation. I will listen to it again.🙏🏻

[@mariansalmon4400]

This was a very good vlog. The realness, open my eyes to look at the word vulnerability in a different way and interpretation on a another level. Thank you!

[@dillianlewis-pertarb556]

Really enjoyed this episode. It is something that's been overdue to be " tackled" especially within the Caribbean culture. I'm grateful you incorporated your husband so the men could hear a man's perspective. Well done. Wayne should do more of men related issues/subjects when he gets his podcast up & running. Giving men a space where men can express their own feelings & views in a safe space...and more importantly a judgment free space. This in turn could be helpful in relationships where women could learn how to approach & help their partners when they realize their man is struggling with some of these male related issues that's not so easy for them to open up about because that would be exposing their vulnerability. Which they've been taught is a sign of weakness. So Wayne hurry up wid yuh podcast cause mi tink it's really needed. Gratitude for taking the time to listen to my thoughts & for both of you taking your time to tackle these topics. OneLove🇯🇲💫🥰🇯🇲

[@carobp3575]

That is so true, we have the tendency to want to quickly respond to the negative and not realize it’s better to acknowledge positive than give energy to negatives. Great segment. Love it!

Hi mtm Wayne that's the reason why I big you up all the time because some people are like that they thought kissing boys as sons I mean have a thing to it they feel like boys is not supported to be kissed only girls so I really like the chemistry between you and your boys I love that about you because they need to be loved too like the girls that helps the boys to be more attentive to there sisters and there girlfriend and also there wife's in there adult live i think you should continue doing it don't care about other people want to say if it makes you feel more loving to your children so be it to hell with what people thinks positive conversation I love it blessings always

[@nicholepelage]

[@musiclandforever6655]

This is great. I believe being vulnerability can lead to self confidence because you learn to negate the negative views of others. You are living in your truth.

[@tanishablythe2929]

I think it's very noble to be able to express your vulnerability, it shows the confidence & humanity side of you. We, as people, especially Jamaican men, have too much ego that hinders them from showing vulnerability. It was taught to them generations ago that vulnerability is a sign of weakness. I have 3 boys, and im trying to break that cycle.

[@charmaineborger3382]

Lol 😂, Tami when you said INTIMACY 😅you should see the smile on Wayne’s face it’s was so funny

[@kaia.r.6612]

Thanks for this conversation. I have been noticing the difference between some of our North American counterparts with raising their children especially boys and how inherently different compare to some Caribbeans who tends to push the negative aspects of masculinity. Yes, I do understand the generational effects of colonialism on the Diaspora however as a community we have to encourage each other to seek counselling to break the cycle when able. Being vulnerable is not weak, or as some may say effeminate. We can raise boys to love themselves and be self aware of their emotions, and be men. In retrospect, what does that look like, and who defines or decides what being a “man” is.

[@suzettebryan4510]

I loved this topic. It felt and sounded easy to do. I was cooking while listening and I was amazed and was talking to myself shaking my head when you made some valid points. Especially about Wayne kissing his sons. My hubby kiss our boys all the time and they are 10 & 13. It is important to build a relationship with your kids it makes it easier if they have issues to come and talk(whether good or bad). There’s more to say but i will leave it here. Keep shining Wayne and Tami…big ups and straight LOVE 💗 😊

Wayne’s Wise Words

[@bevblanchardholt6518]

This was such an excellent topic and food for thought for some areas of my life. I truly believe that we are moving into an age when vulnerability is no longer considered a weakness. It is being encouraged and embraced even in the corporate world. And what is better still when moments of vulnerability requires grace, I am seeing that grace extended freely. It is a joy to look at.

[@hopewilson512]

After reading The Four Agreements, I now understood the saying, “sticks and stones can break my bones but words can never hurt me”. Another person’s opinion has nothing to do with me and everything to do with that person so why would I place so much value on what another person says or thinks about me. We are probably offended if we feel there is some truth to what was said. To thine own self be true! Period. Cause mout mek fe seh any ting!
