317 - Radical Honesty: The Art of Saying What You Mean with Pete Jordan & Tuulia Syvänen
Share your thoughts about our conversation!
For every word we swallow, every moment we dilute ourselves, and every time we say ‘yes’ when really, we want to say ‘no’, we collect a pebble into our backpack of life.
The fantastic duo that is Pete Jordan and Tuulia Syvänen from Honesty Europe join us this week to help us offload these pebbles: showing us the way to live lightly, freely, and in a radical act of resistance, to be ourselves! We explore honesty as a practice of presence, we dig at the roots of interpersonal triggers, and most important of all - we learn how to ask for what we want, when we’ve been conditioned not to - even if it means dancing in the face of rejection.
If you’re a chronic people pleaser perpetually in search of the peace, this conversation is for you!
Find out about:
- Learning to ask people to meet our needs - whether the answer is yes, or no
- The act of expressing suppressed emotions, to clear space for deeper connection
- How to tune into bodily sensations and remain present, during vulnerable interactions or boundary setting
- Why a little discomfort is the price we must pay to be true to ourselves
- How to acknowledge personal judgements in a way that diffuses their power
