Sworn Testimonies
We're all liars - science proves it. We lie about our love lives, our biases, the way we vote, the things we read, the mistakes we've made, and even the way we feel about our families. I'm going to let you in on a little secret that your ego doesn't want you to know - radical honesty leads to freedom. As a trained attorney, I've spent my life trying to become the most honest, messy version of myself, and I find joy in helping others do the same. I love helping people find that "ah ha" moment that leads to breakthrough. Every hero's journey begins with the truth. Sworn Testimonies provides a platform for people just like you to lean into the good, the bad and the ugly of their truth, setting themselves and others free in the process. Join the radical honesty movement.
