About this listen
What happens when we avoid telling the truth — not just the big truths, but the small, daily ones about how we feel, what we want, and who we really are?
In this episode, we explore a hard truth: the more we pretend in our relationships, the more we erode trust, intimacy, and connection.
We talk about:
- Why pretending doesn’t create closeness — it creates distance
- The hidden cost of being “the agreeable one”
- How our silence contributes to misunderstandings and unmet needs
- What to ask yourself if you’re feeling resentment or disconnection
- A small but powerful first step toward telling the truth in your relationships
Whether it’s with your partner, your child, your parent, or your friend — this episode invites you to reflect honestly on where you might be hiding, and what might be possible if you stopped.
