What are you willing to risk to speak your truth?
When I started making ‘Blessed Child’, my documentary about leaving my parents’ faith, it opened up some painful history I had tucked away. From early childhood trauma to struggling in my arranged marriage during my twenties.
It took me seven years to make this documentary, in part because I was terrified of losing my parents. At one point it felt like there was no possibility of a happy ending. Either, I speak my truth and lose this relationship or I hold it all in to try to preserve what we have. I got to the point where I was willing to risk the relationship to speak my truth. The call to tell my story was just that strong.
In today’s episode, I’m sharing this story with you and the lessons I have learned on the way. You’ll also hear a conversation I had with my parents last fall about their experience of me creating my documentary and the way it has changed our relationship.
In this episode on speaking your truth, I dive into:
- My considerations between speaking my truth and preserving my relationship with my parents;
- The opportunity of healing together;
- Letting honesty with loved ones be a process;
- A vulnerable conversation with my parents;
- And more.
