In this candid and thought-provoking episode of The Essay Podcast, hosts Bill R. and Kawy W. sit down with Vince G. from Canada to explore the transformative power of rigorous honesty—not just with others, but with ourselves.

Together, they unpack what it really means to live an honest life in recovery: confronting denial, owning our stories, and practicing vulnerability with grace. Vince shares hard-won insights and experiences that reveal how truth-telling, though often uncomfortable, is ultimately freeing.

This episode invites listeners to reflect on the courage it takes to face ourselves—and the peace that follows.
