Recently I was working with a client who was struggling with her wish to communicate some hard truths with certain friends in her life.
She felt stuck because she knew that her friends would not like what she wanted to share. On one hand, she knew what she needed to say AND at the exact same time, she did not want to be unkind.
Sometimes we find ourselves in a situation where our desire to be authentic and our desire to be kind are in conflict.
In this week’s podcast we talk about (and tap for) finding a balance between being kind and being a doormat.

This is great, as I wrote on FB. I totally love the tone and it’s such an important and relevant topic. In the past I ghosted a couple people because speaking the truth was just too hard, so I know from personal experience how loaded and difficult it is to stand up for yourself, even when you need to.
I think the whole topic around “needing permission” to do the hard tasks that come with standing up for ourselves is very relevant and useful, so I suggest it here as a thread you might want to follow in your podcasts. Thanks a lot!
