Episode 62 - Speaking Your Truth: in Anger, in Friendship, with Love and Authenticity
Manage episode 483167503 series 3660866
Speaking honestly and openly is essential, but it's equally important to learn how to speak your truth well—saying what you mean without being mean.
• The way we express our truth matters as much as the content itself
• Words spoken in anger leave lasting marks, like nails hammered into a fence
• We often confuse our assumptions for truth and react without complete information
• Female friendships require symmetry, support, and secrecy/trust to thrive
• Speaking your truth doesn't excuse hurtful behavior or absolve you from growth
• Truth should serve as a bridge for connection, not a weapon for defense
