what if the secret to moving forward isn’t choosing between truth and lies, but learning how to use both?

this episode is about the yin and yang of my thought processes. i break down how being brutally honest with yourself can free you from denial and wasted energy, while soft delusion gives you the courage to imagine bigger futures and take risks you’d never dare if you only stuck to “the facts.”

i share stories from my marriage, fears, and starting a business to show how i’ve used both approaches. radical honesty keeps you rooted in reality. soft delusion lets you dream beyond it. and when you make space for them both, they actually complement each other beautifully. if you’ve ever felt torn between being realistic and being hopeful, this is the framework that lets you be both.
