šŸŽ™ Show Notes – When Was the Last Time You Got Radically Honest With Yourself?

When was the last time you ripped the duct tape off your own mouth and said the truth you’ve been avoiding?

ā€œI hate my job.ā€ā€œI don’t want this life I’ve built.ā€ā€œI feel numb and lost.ā€

This episode is about the kind of honesty that feels dangerous—the honesty we avoid because once we admit it, we fear everything will have to change.

Here’s the twist: saying the truth out loud doesn’t force you to change a damn thing. It just gives you agency. It lets you choose—intentionally—what happens next.
