This is an IHeart podcast.

I want to talk about being transparent and honest when you're in relationship.

The reason I say that is everybody comes into a relationship with a different background.

It could be financial, it could be cultural, it could be geographical, it could be nature versus nurture, a million different things. It could be a relationship

before, an abusive relationship before, or really positive relationship before. But people come

into a situation and everybody has their own inner monologue and dialogue about what they think

something should be based on what's in their own head.

And I've said this to people.

Also, providing context for people that you relate to, even at work, you know, romantic relationships,

friendships, business relationships. I mean, you're not going to start getting into that you were abused as a child in a business relationship, business relationships.

I mean, you're not going to start getting into that you were abused as a child in a business

relationship per se.

But giving context is important.

And I said this sentence to someone.

I said to someone, they're raised like a breeder dog with safety security knowing where the meals were going to come

from and knowing that they weren't going to be abused and they were going to be protected

and that I come from a perspective of being a rescue dog a dog that has been in many different

homes and had many different experiences and comes in a little cagey

doesn't trust that much could act in a different type of way than somebody else who is a breeder

dog because by definition you've had how could two people with vastly different experiences react in the same way to something?

So if you let people know where you are, then they'll understand why you act in a certain way.

And yes, that could apply to business.
