317 - Radical Honesty: The Art of Saying What You Mean with Pete Jordan & Tuulia Syvänen

For every word we swallow, every moment we dilute ourselves, and every time we say ‘yes’ when really, we want to say ‘no’, we collect a pebble into our backpack of life.

The fantastic duo that is Pete Jordan and Tuulia Syvänen from Honesty Europe join us this week to help us offload these pebbles: showing us the way to live lightly, freely, and in a radical act of resistance, to be ourselves! We explore honesty as a practice of presence, we dig at the roots of interpersonal triggers, and most important of all - we learn how to ask for what we want, when we’ve been conditioned not to - even if it means dancing in the face of rejection.

If you’re a chronic people pleaser perpetually in search of the peace, this conversation is for you!

Find out about:

• Learning to ask people to meet our needs - whether the answer is yes, or no
• The act of expressing suppressed emotions, to clear space for deeper connection
• How to tune into bodily sensations and remain present, during vulnerable interactions or boundary setting
• Why a little discomfort is the price we must pay to be true to ourselves
• How to acknowledge personal judgements in a way that diffuses their power
