Last week, I shared an interactive episode about people-pleasing and lying—today, we’re continuing the conversation. In this episode, I offer an approach that is based not on the morality of telling the truth, but on your values and human need for safety. We’ll take a deeper look at why we lie, the hidden costs it can have in our relationships, and how you can be more truthful in safe, selective places to foster connection to yourself and others. Here’s what I cover:

• How good-girl programming wires us to lie in order to please and avoid conflict
• The huge role that the nervous system plays in why we lie
• When lying can still be a necessary and useful tool
• How we separate children from the truth of their bodies and punish them for honesty
• Why protecting yourself is not the same as deceiving someone else
• How to build more honesty in your life one relationship at a time
