"I'm fine." Two words that nearly destroyed my healing journey. I said them to my doctors when I was anything but fine. I said them to my family when I was falling apart. I said them to myself when I was drowning in fear and pretending everything was okay. And everyone around me? They played along with the lie. Because here's the uncomfortable truth nobody wants to admit: We're all terrified of honesty when it comes to the hard stuff. My husband didn't want to tell me he was scared I might die. My kids didn't want to admit they were angry about my diagnosis. My friends didn't want to say they felt helpless and didn't know what to do. So we all just... pretended. And that pretending was slowly killing me from the inside out. In this episode, I'm sharing the moment I realized that my need to protect everyone from the truth was actually robbing us all of real connection, real support, and real healing. The conversation that changed everything when I finally got honest about how terrified I was. The relief that came when my family stopped tiptoeing around me. And why the most loving thing you can do for the people in your life is tell them the truth - even when it hurts. Because here's what I learned: Lies might feel safer in the moment, but they're toxic to your soul. And when you're fighting for your life, you can't afford that kind of poison. Time to get brutally, beautifully honest.
