Well, hello there and welcome to this episode of The Terry Cole Show.

I want to start with a question.

Let's just say your phone rings and you look down and it's your friend who talks and talks

and talks and is always dumping stuff on you and instead of picking it up and saying,

I don't feel like talking, you let it go to voicemail.

Or maybe you have a friend who assumes that you don't mind picking her up every single time you go out

because it's quote unquote on your way.

And yet, really you do mind.

You're just not saying anything about it.

If any of that resonates with you, then this episode, my dear, is for you because I'm going to be breaking down

why it's hard for us to talk true as I would call it.

Where we learn to not talk true, honor our feelings and our desires and our preferences

and steps that you can take to be more real in your real life.

So I want to take a moment to just say thank you for hanging out with me today.

You know, it always just thrills and fulfills me that you do.

I appreciate it.
