Why We Lie, When We Learned the Truth Was Unsafe & How to Rewire Safety with Nina Passero
Ep 138. Have you ever wondered when we learn to stop being honest with ourselves, and how this teaches us to suppress our body’s signals? What if learning the truth is unsafe starts in our family systems — and how do we begin to tell the truth as adults? Nina Passero, FDN-P and my BFF is back on the pod! Nina has genuinely had one of the most intense journeys these past 6 years, from losing her beloved brother Matteo, to becoming a mother, to unpacking the taboo truths about grief that we never learn until we have to. This time, we are sitting down for a much more intimate chat. This is one of those conversations that speaks to the heart of our friendship. We’re breaking down the parallels between motherhood and grief, we dig into the strength of our friendship, why it’s lasted as long as it has, and the key factors that have kept it healthy. Nina is one of the best humans I know, and I’m so honored to be able to share this conversation with our community. HERE'S THE JUICE: Do we bring hidden expectations into friendships?
