S2-Episode 21: Rigorous Honesty

from The Mid Podcast · host TheMid

Would you want your friends to tell you the brutal truth... no matter what? 😳This week on The Mid, we're diving into the idea of rigorous honesty—what it is, why some people swear by it, and why, after discussing it, we're leaning toward a pretty firm hard no.We talk about questions like: - Can honesty go too far? - Is there a difference between being truthful and being hurtful? - Do our friends really want our unfiltered opinions... and do we want theirs?We explore the messy middle between honesty, kindness, boundaries, and knowing when some thoughts are better left unsaid.Also:🎤 We check in on our WhatsApp voice memo challenge🎧 We play some of our very first voice messages🎬 We talk about the end of Season 2 and what our plans are for summerIt's funny, honest (ironically), and proof that sometimes the truth isn't always the most helpful thing you can say.If you've ever wondered whether you should tell your friend what you're really thinking, regretted being too honest, or spent way too much time overanalyzing a text message... this episode is for you.🎥 Don’t forget — The Mid now publishes VIDEO episodes!Watch on Spotify or on YouTube: ⁠⁠@TheMid_Podcast⁠⁠ and subscribe!The Mid is hosted by Teresa Waldner and Wendy Boulay👇 Watch, Subscribe & Stay Connected:🌐 LinkTree: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠TheMidPod⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠📘 Facebook: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@MidPodcast⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠📸 Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@TheMid_Podcast⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠🎥 YouTube: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@TheMid_Podcast⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠🎵 TikTok: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@TheMidPodcast⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠🌎 Website: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠themidconversation.wixsite.com/podcast⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠✉️ Email: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠[email protected]⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⭐ Don’t forget to follow, rate, and leave a comment wherever you listen!#podcast #midlifepodcast #friendship #honesty #rigoroushonesty #womenover40 #midlifewomen #bestfriends #realtalk #womenover50 #midlife #podcastlife
