Keeping it real is a phrase that we often use to describe how true we are to ourselves and to others. We use it to express just how “real” we are being at the time. However, we have to ask ourselves: Are we REALLY living up to that phrase? Transparency is something that is difficult for many of us. We often hide behind the facades that we create to present the best version of ourselves to the outside world. What we don’t realize is that we are only lying to ourselves. There is so much fear in being transparent because it requires vulnerability. That vulnerability is deeply rooted in being true to yourself about the correlations between your past and the present. It is about being open to understanding our actions and thought processes and how are impactful that is to ourselves and the relationships we have with other people. But why is it so difficult for us to take off our masks and shed our many protective layers? What is it about our core that makes us want to hide ourselves?
In this episode of Girl G.O.A.T., we are joined with Bree Williams, creator of Vibes of a Queen, as we analyze the importance of transparency and the effects that it has on our personal development and growth. This episode is filled with authenticity, truth, and wisdom as we discern the ways that something that is viewed as weakness is actually rooted in strength.
