Episode 098 Emotional Honesty: The Backbone of Health Assertiveness

Welcome to episode 98 where we start out the month focusing on the concept of assertiveness and how emotional honesty is such a big part of that ability to speak calmly yet firmly. 

In this episode, we talk about how being brave means risking being open, being honest, confronting, setting limits with others and asking for what we need. We explore how to be assertive means to be genuine and therefore emotionally honest. It’s the best way but not always the easiest nor is it always well received, mostly by people who themselves are afraid to be open.  But we know we can’t be truly confident without it.

Key Elements:

• Discuss how fear is at the core of avoiding honesty.
• Look at four key areas we need to work on that comprise emotional honesty.
• Describe ways you want to come across, contrasted with how we hope no one describes us.

“Authenticity starts in the heart.”
