46. How Can I Openly Be Who I Really Am? With Rebecca Woolf

Sitting with the reality of her husband's impending death, author
Rebecca Woolf did something she later understood to be a
liberating act: she was radically honest with the world about her
complex grief, her desires for an authentic life, and even her
past infidelity. Being radically honest propelled her beyond fear
of judgment and lifted the weight of any shame. Rebecca tells
Claire why she thinks people hide their truth and why people need
to wrestle with difficult introspection, even during hard
moments.
