Summary
When someone asks, “how are you doing?” Do you smile and say “I’m fine”?
Or do you tell the truth?
You might have a thousand reasons for holding back your truth in the face of a relatively benign question like “how are you doing?” — some of which may even be justified. But I suppose a better question is: do you know what is true for you?
Are you in touch with your own truth?
Are you able to share it with at least one trusted person?
And have you considered the power and possibility of sharing your truth more broadly?
This is what I’m exploring in today's episode. No matter how impossible it might seem to tell the truth — no matter who you think it might hurt or what you worry would unravel, the old maxim is right: only really the truth can set you free.

| 0:10.5 | all the beauty and peace and the magic that you'll start to find. |
| 0:15.1 | When you write your story, |
| 0:17.5 | you've got the words inside, don't you think it's time |

| 0:33.8 | Hi, and welcome back to the Write Your Story podcast. |
| 0:36.5 | I'm Ali Fallon. |
| 0:37.4 | I'm your host. And if you can hear my little children in the background of today's episode, it's kind of perfect for what I want to talk about today. So we're just going to take what is and roll with it. I'm not going to try to fight with reality. This is something that I'm learning. It's exactly what I want to talk about today. So it's probably |
| 0:54.4 | perfect timing for this episode. But if you just hear any little noises in the background, |
| 0:58.9 | they're in their rest time. They're supposed to be being quiet, but we all know how kids do with |
| 1:02.6 | being quiet. So bear with me, roll with me. It's all going to make sense by the end of today's |
| 1:06.9 | episode. The topic that I want to talk about today is the topic of honesty and integrity. |
| 1:14.2 | This is a topic that's extremely important to me for a couple reasons. One of the big reasons |
| 1:19.2 | that it's important to me is my name, Allison, actually means truthful one. There are a couple |
| 1:25.6 | of meanings that you can find for my name if you look up like |
