The Truth Is...

On this week's We Got Thoughts, We touch on the discourse around Physical/EReader Books vs Audiobooks that's happening on Social media. We dive into the discussion about whether audiobooks really count as reading and why so many are creating unnecessary divides in the book community. You'll discover why hearing a story isn't "less" than reading it.Follow Us on Instagram and TikTok@⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠truthispod⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ (Instagram)⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@thetruthispodcast⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ (Tiktok)Don't forget to tag #truthispodcast and @ us to let us know what you think of this week's episode!

In this week's episode, we discuss that most of us casually talk about goals and growth, but how often do we honestly check if we're aligned or just stuck in busywork? We dig into the vital distinction between resetting and restarting your life and why small, intentional shifts are your secret to progress. We have entered Q2, are you still chasing the same goals from January or are you just going through the motions? Chelly shares her recent realization that busy work disguised as effort can keep you spinning in place. Jackie reveals how she’s re-framing her approach to goals, focusing on small wins like sleep, movement, or one mindset shift at a time, rather than overwhelming transformations. Together, we explore practical tools to identify when you’re off-course: Are your habits truly aligned with your desires? Are you operating from a place of intention or just habit? We break down the power of mini adjustments, like honoring what makes you feel good or asking key questions about your motivations.
