Speaking Your Truth podcasts

Below are the best podcasts we could find on Speaking Your Truth.

“Speaking your truth” is a way we frame the act of sharing your experiences, telling your story, and finding your voice—especially when speaking authentically provokes disapproval, hostility, or confusion from friends, family, community, or people in power. Many of us are trained from a young age to silence ourselves, whether through direct instruction or more subtle expectations and assumptions of how we “should” feel, think, and act; deviating from those expectations can often result in fear and shame. But finding ways to communicate our lived experiences is one of the most original courageous acts of liberation we can accomplish as individuals. As Reverend angel Kyodo williams puts it, “the flip side of living in fear is actually living in truth.” Finding safe, productive ways of speaking our truth can be a struggle, but there are many ways to find our voice.
