GITRMM: Fearless Authenticity: Mastering Emotional Nakedness without Compromising Boundaries

What You'll Hear In This Episode:

• What does it really mean to be “emotionally naked”?
• In the same way we get physically naked, we don’t get emotionally naked at all once. It should come off slowly, and piece by piece.
• Being fearlessly authentic doesn’t mean dumping on the person, nor does it mean too much too soon.
• Fearlessly authentic means being fearless and not oversharing.
• There’s a sense of responsibility and emotional maturity that goes along with being fearlessly authentic.
• Why it’s important to let someone know what your boundaries are, and why it can be cruel not to.
• Lisa and Benjamin model an example of fearless authenticity on a date.
• What things foster vs. kill communication?
• It’s also not just the words we say, but the way we say those words.
• Your needs and boundaries may change from moment to moment, and that’s okay.
• Words can bring us closer together, or words can be a weapon. And, it’s also the way we say those words that matter.
