Last week, we talked about cutting away the parts of yourself that perform and please to get approval. But what about the deeper layer—the self-judgment that keeps you hiding parts of yourself because you’ve decided they’re too ugly, too bad, too weird, too gross to be seen?

In this deeply vulnerable episode, Meg shares her journey from childhood body shame to secret binging, and the moment her partner said “No shit!” when he finally learned what she’d been hiding for years. This isn’t about becoming perfect—it’s about cutting away the belief that certain parts of your humanity are unacceptable and too shameful to be loved.

This episode explores the difference between cutting away the masks we wear for others and cutting away the shame that keeps us hiding from ourselves—and how real intimacy becomes possible when you become willing to be seen as exactly who you are.

What You’ll Learn:

💥The difference between performing for others vs. hiding from yourself

💥 Why shame doesn’t protect you from rejection—it guarantees you’ll never be fully accepted

💥How self-judgment keeps you in a prison of your own making

💥The difference between courage (cutting away performance) and compassion (cutting away self-judgment)

💥What changes in relationships when you stop managing others’ perception of you

💥How to move from hiding your struggles to being witnessed in them

💥The difference between courage and compassion in relationships

💥How relationships transform when you stop managing perceptions

Ready to stop carrying the exhaustion of managing everyone’s perception of you—including your own?

We always hear about adding to our relationships — better communication, more connection, new tools.

In this episode, I’m sharing the personal patterns I had to cut away in order to have the relationship I say I want: one built on transparency, honesty, and vulnerability.

I’ll also share what the difference really is between honesty and transparency, and why cutting away can be so difficult and actually feel like a loss — but is where real trust is built.

What happens when we avoid telling the truth — not just the big truths, but the small, daily ones about how we feel, what we want, and who we really are?

In this episode, we explore a hard truth: the more we pretend in our relationships, the more we erode trust, intimacy, and connection.

We talk about:

• Why pretending doesn’t create closeness — it creates distance

• The hidden cost of being “the agreeable one”

• How our silence contributes to misunderstandings and unmet needs

• What to ask yourself if you’re feeling resentment or disconnection

• A small but powerful first step toward telling the truth in your relationships

Whether it’s with your partner, your child, your parent, or your friend — this episode invites you to reflect honestly on where you might be hiding, and what might be possible if you stopped.
