Self-awareness takes brutal honesty. We all have parts of ourselves that we like, parts that we don’t, parts that we showcase, and parts that we try to hide away. It’s really difficult to be honest about all sides of who we are—the good, the bad, the messy and the downright ugly. But recognizing and confronting all of our parts is really important if ever we are to move through this world with a healthy sense of clarity and intentionality.

Today’s episode is about all kinds of bad words our society likes for us to keep on the DL—words like limitations, weaknesses, submission, boundaries and, you guessed it, self-awareness. These words ain’t pretty … they ain’t sexy … and they sure as ain’t great conversation starters. But they are important words. They are words we shouldn’t be afraid to embrace nor speak about. And they are words Cindy & Renae spend an entire episode confronting.

“There are quick choices in life to either act out of our strengths in really beautiful and positive ways, or to lash out through our weakness. I think the centerpiece that holds the power for all of our choices is intense self-awareness.” —Cindy Keating
