Truth Telling is in Service to Love

I am here to help women connect with their deepest truth, to become their own truth-tellers. This doesn’t mean avoiding lies; it means being present in each moment. It means knowing what you’re feeling, being aware of where your body is, listening with your entire being, and speaking from that place—moment by moment. Truth-telling isn’t easy. It involves listening to all parts of yourself: the scared parts, the puffed-up parts, the arrogant parts, the shy parts. Then, you must part the seas and step forward from your essence. From there, truth emerges.

Truth-telling means doing what feels essential in your bones, even when part of you is screaming that if you do it, you will be rejected, dismissed, discarded, or canceled.

This matters. It matters deeply. I believe this is a part of why we are all suffering. No one is willing to speak the truth. We’ve been conditioned to believe that we must go along to get along, that in order to be taken care of, we have to slightly turn away from what’s most true. It’s not blatant denial; it’s a subtle turning of the cheek, a refusal to fully see, say, and be with the deeper truth of what is happening.

Truth-telling is vital because it is the pathway to presence. And presence is the gateway to truth. To speak the truth, we must feel. To speak the truth, we must inhabit our bodies. To speak the truth, we must trust in something bigger than our small minds—I call it Life with a capital L. To tell the truth, we have to release our attachment to an imagined future, let go of trying to control what we cannot control.

When we speak the truth, we become environmental activists in the truest sense. Living from that place creates peace within, though it doesn’t make life easier. It simply removes the need to use energy avoiding what we don’t want to face or say. It’s hard, no doubt, but it’s also a gateway to internal peace. When we feel this kind of peace, despite the discomfort it might create, we begin to consume less. When we aren’t avoiding, we stop relying on strategies like shopping, eating, scrolling, or dissociating. When we are fully present in our bodies, accepting all of our experiences, and giving voice to them when necessary, we are in integrity. We are in alignment. Life lived this way may not become easier, but it does become calmer. We consume, fight, and destroy less. We stop going outside ourselves to avoid what is within. We must befriend our inner world, and that begins with being willing to tell the truth.

When you listen to your inner world and get to know it, you can’t go out into the world and live in contradiction to what you know inside. The two must align. If we can’t speak what we know inside, we have to avoid it to survive in the world. Truth-telling is courageous and requires great strength.

Integrity and dignity are born from truth-telling.

To tell the truth is to acknowledge that you matter—you in your deepest essence. Not your personality, but the fundamental, unconditioned blueprint of your being. That matters. To the planet.

When we listen to this truth, it calls us to serve something bigger than our small personality, our ego. If I honor what is deeply true, even when parts of me are scared, bargaining, or trying to override the truth out of fear of discomfort, it becomes a surrender to the divine, to something greater than me.

As we begin to tell the truth, we follow a deep knowing that guides us—it’s connected to something beyond our ego, our neurons, our small self.

To do this, we must release all imagined futures of safety or threat, for these are creations of the mind. To tell the truth, we must return to the pulse of presence and live from there, without knowing where it will lead. This is freedom. It frees us from the illusion of controlling the future. We surrender to the present moment, speak our truth, and dance with life and mystery.
