In this podcast, I discuss an Instagram post of a teen's "white lies" t-shirt which leads me to question why we hide behind untruths rather than sharing what's genuinely happening in our lives; I challenge listeners to have more truthful conversations instead of superficial ones riddled with "smoke and mirrors," encouraging them to openly share when they're scared, excited, etc. I tell a story about pretending to be deaf when pulled over, questioning why we hide behind lies versus lead with the truth. I describe the anxiety I felt during my husband's medical test, relatable for most people facing difficulties. Ultimately, I urge listeners next time they talk to someone to choose truth over lies - we are worthy of being truly seen, heard and understood.
