Our truth is more beautiful than the things we feel we need to hide.

Disclaimer and trigger warning: What we talk about on In My Truth tends to be very raw and can be triggering. Resources for support and help are included at the end of show notes - scroll down for more information.

Thank you for joining us in this episode of In My Truth, where serial entrepreneur and truth seeker Sarah Riegelhuth is excited to speak to her friend Ryan Ebert and dive into his current untruths.

Ryan Ebert is a Melbourne-based entrepreneur in the health care space. Ryan sold a business last year and is currently working on another startup. He’s also a sports fanatic and Melbourne coffee drinker!

At the moment, Ryan is grappling with expectations, from others and from himself, and something that not many people know: setting up for an overseas move. Ryan has been holding this secret of not being in Australia at the end of the year, and is working through the weight of the expectations around his next moves.

Ryan is also questioning whether he wants to stay in the health industry and how it shapes his identity, the ‘shoulds’ around his involvement in healthcare, and what he wants out of his ideal work role and how that aligns with his purpose.

Some other beliefs and stories uncovered in this episode include:

sharing our personal stories and untruths with stakeholders

fear of shaking up our identity capital and credibility

differentiating between opportunities we want and opportunities others want for us

wrangling with our truths

resistance to change

measures of success and levels of freedom

logic vs passion, joy and happiness

the weight of being outside of alignment

rhetoric around opening up and not opening up about our truth

feelings around people judging and questioning the ways that we live

compromising on lifestyle based on other people’s judgement

letting go, grieving and making space for who we are

limiting Instagram labels

Remember you’re not alone, and there is hope, even though it may not feel that way at times. Talk to someone, a friend or family member and let them support you. Reach out to a professional. Do whatever you need to do to start your journey back to feeling good.
