This is the foundation of all transformation, the ground upon which everything else is built. Because here's the truth: you cannot build an authentic life on a foundation of lies.For so long, you've been telling yourself stories. "I'm fine." "It's not that bad." "I can handle it." "They need me." "I'll rest later." But beneath those stories? There's a truth you've been avoiding. A truth about what's really happening in your life, your relationships, your body, your soul.Radical honesty is about getting brutally real with yourself, not to punish yourself, but to finally see clearly. It's about asking the questions you've been afraid to ask:This isn't about judgment. It's about liberation. Because the moment you stop lying to yourself is the moment you can start living as yourself.
