Having It A.L.L.

The Real Test of Growth: Will You Choose Integrity Over Approval?


Listen Later

What do you do when your values get tested—and the cost of staying true is real?

This episode is about the moments that reveal who you actually are—not who you say you are. Not the version that shows up in your journal, on your vision board, or in your next coaching session. But the version that steps forward when life applies pressure.

Because the truth is, your growth isn’t proven by how many books you’ve read or breakthroughs you’ve had. It’s proven by how you respond when staying in alignment comes with consequences. When your principles aren't popular. When the easy path tempts you with comfort, validation, and old habits.

In this conversation, I share a personal story that challenged me to walk my talk in a deeply uncomfortable way. It involved family, identity, and a decision that didn’t earn me applause—but did bring me closer to integrity.

If you’ve ever felt the pull between being who you’ve always been and becoming who you say you want to be—this one is for you. Especially if you're the one people look to for answers, strength, or leadership. Because the pressure you’re under? That’s not a problem. That’s the invitation.

Let’s talk about what it really means to stand on your principles when no one else is standing with you.
