Today’s episode: No White Lies

White lies show up everywhere—“All good,” when it isn’t; “Five minutes,” when it’s twenty; “No worries,” when your stomach is tight.

They look kind. They feel convenient. But they quietly pull you away from yourself.

In this episode, I share the white lies I used to tell, how they shaped my life, and the moment I chose integrity over “easy.” You’ll learn to unpack the hidden cost of "harmless" fibs, how to spot where you use them, and why they pull you away from your true self.

And lastly how honest, compassionate truth-telling becomes a lever for real healing.

“I’m feeling a lot; I need a moment.”

“The truth is ___.”

Then notice: Do you feel taller? Calmer? More you?
