To Tell You The Truth

To Tell You The Truth

Take off the mask. Shred the script. Welcome to To Tell You The Truth — the podcast for when you’re done performing and ready to live in your truth, fully and freely. Hosted by Brittany Sharpton, this is where we say the things most people only whisper in the group chat — or don’t say at all. We unlearn the rules, unpack the weight of expectations, and make space for the woman we’re becoming. Each episode is a permission slip: to pause, pivot, speak up, let go, reclaim — or simply be. If you’re questioning what you were taught, shedding the shoulds, or choosing self over approval — you’ll feel seen here. Because to tell you the truth… our stories deserve to be told.
