The Lies We Tell Ourselves

Let’s be real: You’ve lied to yourself today.

Maybe it was that “I’m fine” when you weren’t. Or that “next time I’ll…” promise you’ve made 37 times.

The wild part? You know when you’re doing it. Your gut tightens. Your voice gets louder in your head. You over-justify to yourself and others. But why???

Well, in this episode Abmari and I get curious about that as we unravel:

• Why a 2-person workshop is a huge success

• How karma works more like cosmic bowling than a punishment system

• The parenting hack that reduced my instructions from 5 minutes to 3 words (“Stay in the car”)

• Why the Appalachian “mountains” are frauds (and what that says about your problems)

It’s equal parts uncomfortable and hilarious—like all the best growth usually is.

🌀 A MOMENT TO PAUSE IN THE CHAOS

The Quiet Truth: We lie to ourselves because the truth often feels too heavy. Buuuut guess what... the weight lifts the moment you stop carrying the lie.

This Episode’s Uncomfortable Gifts:

✔️ Your feelings are signals, not sentences. Disappointment says “this mattered to me”—not “you failed.”

✔️ Karma isn’t keeping score—it’s offering receipts. That lesson that keeps showing up? You’re not “being tested.” You’re being given another chance to choose differently.

✔️ Devotion feels like flow. Attachment feels like force. One is service; the other is a negotiation with your ego.

✔️ “Mountains” are often just hills we’re tired of climbing. Perspective isn’t everything—it’s the only thing.

One Question to Leave You With: What if the lie you’re telling yourself is the very thing blocking what you say you want?
