Your Truth Isn't THE Truth

Send us a Text! We want to hear your questions, thoughts, and dilemmas to discuss during our “Chels Chats”- join the conversation 🤍 [https://www.buzzsprout.com/1944235/fan_mail/new] “My truth” is everywhere, but I’ve been wondering what we’ve lost by using it as a mic drop. I’m not interested in dismissing anyone’s feelings, trauma, or lived experience. I am interested in the quiet shift where speaking your truth starts getting confused with speaking the truth and where validation replaces curiosity. We talk about why humans are unreliable narrators (even when we mean well), how selective memory and self-protection can shape our version of events, and why it’s possible for two people to experience the same relationship in completely different ways. I share the mindset that keeps me grounded: two things can be true at once. Your feelings can be real, and your interpretation can still be incomplete. That’s not weakness, it’s emotional intelligence. The internet loves clear heroes and villains, but real life is layered: you can be hurt and still owe accountability, you can have good intentions and still cause harm, and healing often needs privacy, time, and humility. If you’ve ever asked yourself whether you’re chasing truth or protecting the version of yourself that feels safest, this one’s for you. Listen, share it with a friend, and then subscribe, leave a review, and tell me your take: has social media changed how you tell your story?
