ROHO|MONDAY

This Roho Monday is about navigating relationships where honesty is met with manipulation. I reflect on the reality of working with someone who lies, gaslights, and refuses to play by shared rules—and the quiet pressure to keep “doing the right thing” even when it costs you. This episode names a hard truth:this isn’t a moral dilemma, it’s a safety issue. I talk about the difference between lying and self-protection, and why staying fully transparent with someone who misuses your truth is not integrity—it’s exposure. Instead of playing their game, I explore a different path:saying less, documenting more, withholding unnecessary information, and letting systems—not emotions—do the work. This Roho Monday is a reminder that:you don’t owe fairness to someone who isn’t acting in good faith,and you are not required to sacrifice yourself to prove your honesty. The goal isn’t to stay nice.It’s to stay intact. This is a public episode. If you would like to discuss this with other subscribers or get access to bonus episodes, visit drmajors.substack.com
