8. Q&As: How to Speak your Truth, Bias & Judgement

Do you wonder how to uncover your own “true self” that is often spoken about?

Are you unsure how to handle biases in your own thoughts or others attacking you with words?

I will answer these two questions brought so generously by listeners Britt and Angel.

Our first question was sent in by Britt - “I don't understand how you're supposed to know your true self or your truth. How do you do this?”

Beautiful question! I want you to explore a few specific areas of your thoughts and I have an example from my own life to illustrate why.

Our second question came as a voice message from Angel. It breaks down into two parts - “How do you stop your own biases and judgements before you speak? When someone else is expressing a bias towards you, attacking you with their words, how do you stay in the conversation instead of running away from it?

What a mature question, Angel, thank you for asking it. I have an exercise that will help you separate the biases that serve you from those that create disconnection as well as a suggestion that can transform your communication when someone is verbally attacking you.

Takeaways from this episode:

Sharing your questions is an act of generosity to others who may be having the same struggle in their communication. Enter your questions here.

It is possible to uncover our true self by digging through parts of our identity given to us by others.

Bringing biases from habitual to conscious thinking will allow us to decide if they are helpful or create disconnection.

Practical advice for what to do during a challenging conversation.
