2023-09-191h 03The Pivotal Podcast with Kristine AxeEp. 22 - Little White Lies (& How They Keep Us Safe)Today's conversation is a topic that we know all too well but rarely hear talked about. The dynamic of little white lies.In the last few years, I've come to notice how often I've used little white lies to protect myself from awkward conversations, sharing my needs in relationships and speaking my truth. The reason I'm bringing up this topic is not to shame us - there is no shame in this. It's to bring light to the fact that (clearly) we are uncomfortable sharing our truths, even with those that are closest to us.
