Unleash Your Inner Creative with Lauren LoGrasso (A Creativity Podcast)

This week's episode is a creative check-in where I talk about an epiphany I had at the Farmer's Market. No, not the one about tomatoes being fruit... the one about how we treat lying as a humble transaction. Do you have trouble being direct? Are you afraid of hurting other people’s feelings or your own feelings getting hurt when you say how you feel? Do you find yourself constantly holding from sharing your truth? If this sounds like you, I think today’s episode might help! We're taught to spread white lies in order to create good human connection. But what if we're not giving people enough credit? What if the real human connection comes out of authenticity and honesty, even if the truth doesn't sound as pleasant? Today we explore how honesty sets you AND everyone around you free.
