Don’t Eat the Lies

This episode was recorded while Mandy was snowed in with too much time to think and nowhere to run from the truth.She reflects on the lies people tell themselves just to get by. The working man lies. The survival lies. The ones that are not malicious but quietly costly.She talks about how self deception shows up in marriages, careers, addiction, grief, avoidance, and the fear of happiness. About watching people grow older and realize time passed while they were surviving instead of living.She shares personal stories about her brother, addiction, grief, masking, choosing careers out of love or loss, and learning to recognize when honesty becomes harder than avoidance.This episode is not polished. It is conversational and reflective.Because honesty does not erase pain. It gives it shape.Lies rot. Truth weathers.And in a world full of lies, do not be fake.Do not eat the lies.She would eat the truth any day.
