Summary

I recently had a conversation with a group of women about the secrets we hold and how they hold us back. Truth be told, a lot of women hold onto secrets for the better part of their lives - and these secrets cripple us in multiple areas our lives. If you have been holding onto a family secret since you were a little girl, there is a part of you who is stuck in the body and mind of that little girl. Holding on to secrets and not allowing ourselves to process and heal from them can arrest our development and impede our ability to deeply connect with others. When we start to share our secrets with trusted people we experience freedom, healing, relief, and power. And we often find that our secrets were not as big as we let them become in our own minds. When you share your secrets in groups of women, you’ll quickly learn that everyone has secrets, stories, and experiences that have felt crippling to them at certain times in their lives. And when we start sharing these stories, we begin to heal and we allow ourselves to connect more deeply in our relationships with others - win/win! In this episode, I’m going to share with you a series of secrets that other women have allowed me to share, as well as a few of my own. I think you’ll see through these examples how your sharing your secrets can set you FREE and allow you to be more SEEN - which can be life-changing.

1:33.8	totally jacked up last week. And I ended up having to record with him in my office, which I've never done
1:39.8	before. And it was actually pretty funny. And what was crazy is the thing that I wanted to talk about
1:45.5	in that episode was I wanted to tell like the story about him and about how he had this like massive
1:51.3	meltdown. And then I was like, okay, I can't tell the story when he's like sitting right next to me
1:55.3	because he'll get offended that I'm talking about him. So I was like, okay, how can I do this?
