EP 37: Leading a Life of Radical Honesty with Tara Newman

October 08, 2021

When you are not honest with yourself, you end up living a disconnected life.


You may feel connected to your life when you get the dopamine hits of likes and follows or public affirmations from colleagues. Though, let’s be honest, these external validations are never satisfying for long.


If you live a life where your worthiness and safety are woven into the opinions of others, it makes sense why so many cling to a life that is unsustainable and out of alignment.


And it often takes a big crisis to push us out of the grind of the life we are living to reflect and re-evaluate.


Whatever the catalyst is, getting honest with yourself and your circumstances is the only way through figuring out what next steps to take.


In a world of highlight reels and social media filters, being honest can feel counter-cultural. And stepping into radical honesty can stir up a lot of emotion.


Choosing to be honest with yourself and others definitely has risks. But you will also experience the rewards of deeper connection and meaningful work.


Today’s guest rebuilt her life from the inside out after a painful bankruptcy. It was not until she got radically honest with herself that she regained her footing and did the work that has allowed her to build a business and a life that is aligned and healthy.


Through her podcast, The Bold Money Revolution as well as her program, The Bold Profit Academy, Tara Newman supports service providers in creating premium offers and scalable sales systems so they can significantly increase their profitability.


Tara teaches leaders to run businesses without sacrificing their health, relationships, or integrity by

establishing behaviors, habits, and rituals aligned with their vision of success.
