Are You a ‘Steel Vault’ Kind of Mentor?

The Making of a Mom Quote

We all need someone we can trust…the kind of friend who has our back and who knows our secrets, yet treats them as if they are their own.

We all need someone like that in our lives. And we all need to be someone like that for others.

Mentoring is a mixed bag. It comes with the joy of walking through life with others, but it also comes with the responsibility of guarding those relationships and stories others share with you well. 

Recently, I’ve had several conversations with women who were walking through a painful place or facing difficult challenges. They didn’t need someone who had all the answers, they just needed someone that cared enough to listen without judging and speak the truth even if it was hard. They needed someone who was willing to hear their hearts and join them in the journey of a season that was too hard to go alone.

I couldn’t help but wonder how many women have someone to turn to that they know they can trust. How many women have been burned because they confided in someone who sold them out for the mere urge to divulge what they know.

Do you have that kind of mentor? Are you that kind of friend?

Or do you run out and tell the tales that were told to you in confidence?

We all need each other and we are definitely better together, but if we don’t guard our hearts and mouths, we compromise our relationships and undermine our own integrity.

SO, how about you? ARE YOU A STEAL VAULT KIND OF MENTOR?

DO YOU HAVE A STEAL VAULT KIND OF MENTOR?

HAVE YOU EVER BEEN BURNED BY SOMEONE WHO WASN’T AND IF SO, HOW HAS THAT AFFECTED YOUR LEVEL OF TRUST WITH OTHER WOMEN?
