The Lies We Tell Ourselves
In this episode of Unfolding Us, I’m talking about a truth that most people avoid. We lie to ourselves. Sometimes to feel safe. Sometimes to survive. But those self-lies can cost us our peace, our relationships, and our sense of purpose.
I’ve done it. I’ve said “I’m fine” when I wasn’t. I’ve stayed too long. I’ve kept quiet when I should have spoken up. And I’ve learned that lying to yourself might be human, but it’s also the first step away from your true self.
Here’s what I’m sharing in this conversation:
• How self-deception becomes a coping mechanism
• What it really costs to pretend
• How to check in with your spirit when something feels off
• Why naming the lie gives you your power back
• The shift that happens when you stop performing and start being honest
This isn’t about being perfect. It’s about being clear. You don’t owe the world your truth, but you do owe it to yourself. If you’re tired of carrying the weight of pretending, this is your invitation to put it down.
Thank you for being here. I appreciate every listener and every share. Subscribe if you haven’t and share this with someone you know who needs to hear this.
Let’s unfold together.
