Episode 94: Gino's Riff - Open and Honest: The Truth That Frees Your True Self

In this episode, Gino explores a truth that sits at the root of Shedding and Shining: honesty. He shares why being open and honest with yourself and with others is not just a value, but the foundation for freeing your True Self. Drawing from his sabbatical and the book Radical Honesty, Gino introduces three levels of telling the truth: revealing the facts from the past, being honest about current thoughts and feelings, and exposing the fiction of the ego or persona.
He reflects on how performance, people pleasing, and fear pull us away from authenticity, and why truth, even when uncomfortable, ultimately brings clarity and freedom. The episode closes with a passionate reminder that honesty does not equal cruelty. When truth comes from the heart, it is an act of love. Gino invites listeners to practice openness, demand honesty in their relationships, and trust that the truth will set them free.
