In this episode, Jodi differentiates between factual honesty (being truthful about external facts, such as “I have a blue car”) and emotional honesty (being truthful about my motivations and emotions, such as “I do not like the blue color of my car”). Boundaries are how we are emotionally honest with self and others. Emotional honesty means coming to know yourself. Knowing yourself enables you to create boundaries, which teach others (and self) how to interact with you in ways that are honest and safe.

“Emotional honesty is what allows you to perceive your world accurately." Jodi answers more questions, including why “little white lies” don’t have a place in emotional honesty.
