Listen in and find out how much. Keywordshonesty, relationships, vulnerability, intimacy, communication, feedback, personal growth, emotional intelligence, self-awareness, interpersonal dynamicsTakeawaysHonesty is crucial in relationships, but it must be balanced with politeness.Not every thought needs to be shared; discernment is key.Vulnerability can lead to deeper intimacy, but it requires careful communication.Being blunt is not the same as being direct; clarity matters.Feedback should be constructive and aimed at improvement, not criticism.Understanding the impact of our words on others is essential for healthy relationships.Self-awareness helps in recognizing our own biases and perceptions.The way we deliver messages can significantly affect their reception.It's important to ask if our honesty is truly helpful to the other person.Building a foundation of trust allows for more honest and open communication.Sound Bites"Total honesty within a relationship.""Does it need to be said?""Is it true?

From planted cages filled with pre-caught bass to falsified kayak tournament entries using cut-down boats, tournament integrity is under attack like never before.

We're back for another Hills rewatch episode, and this one takes a wild turn at Brody's birthday party, or as I like to call it "strike one". How producers amped up storylines, what Brody said that genuinely shocked me, and why Spencer swears he never would've gotten married if he'd known this one thing. From being drunk on camera to being asked to cry on cue, we're breaking down the formula that made these shows work… maybe a little too well.

Ladies and gentlemen — howdy & aloha!In this episode of Airey Bros Radio, we're lacing them up and heading down to Columbia, Missouri for a deep dive into Missouri Tigers Cross Country and a full preview of the 2025 NCAA Cross Country Championships at Gans Creek with Mizzou Head Cross Country & Distance Coach Kyle Levermore.Coach Levermore is a North Jersey native who starred at Don Bosco Prep, battled with Christian Brothers Academy at Homedale Park, and went on to run at Oregon and Arkansas before jumping into coaching at Georgetown. With a background in sports industry management, sports marketing, and now working on his MBA, Kyle is helping turn Mizzou XC into a Top-25 NCAA program while the Tigers get ready to host nationals on their home course at Gans Creek.We cover:

In this episode, Dr. Beth sits down with her friends Amanda (a business owner) and Stephanie (a therapist) to tackle a tough, real-world question: How do you talk about a diagnosis with someone who doesn't want one—especially when daily weed, anger outbursts, or past substance use are in the mix? Through the story of a 30-something creative with possible bipolar disorder, they unpack self-medication (the classic “upper, downer, mood-stabilizer” pattern), why partners and employers draw hard lines (“it's legal” ≠ “it's okay at work”), and how shame keeps talented people from becoming their best selves. You'll hear practical, compassionate ways to: Frame diagnosis as information, not identity Explain the bipolar spectrum (including agitated/hypomanic presentations) Explore roots vs. band-aids: trauma, lifestyle, and biology Talk with spouses about the real costs of daily use and rage cycles Use simple next steps (e.g., the MDQ screen, treatment options, boundaries) Honest, stigma-cutting, and immediately useful—for therapists, leaders managing teams, partners who are worried, and anyone wondering whether a label might actually unlock a path forward. Note: This conversation is educational and not medical advice. If you have concerns about mood or substance use, please consult a licensed professional.

In this Delirious W.E.S.T. 2026 check-in, I sit down with the wonderful Gabe Alves, who has had—hands down—one of the most honest and powerful training months of the entire series. Gabe walks us through his experience at Feral, a race that started brilliantly for him… until it didn't. Physically, he was flying. The climbing strength, the pacing, the hills, the timing — everything was lining up for his best Feral yet. But then the mental load of a tough year caught up with him, and the second half of the race became a battle with looping thoughts, emotional overwhelm, and the kind of mental crash only ultra-runners truly understand. This episode covers: • When your legs feel great but your brain taps out • How life-stress can empty your “resilience tank” before you even start the race • The power of pacers, support crews, and someone to break you out of a mental loop • Why physical fitness alone isn't enough in a miler • Post-race recovery, fragility, and the slow climb back • What Gabe's learned — and how he's preparing smarter for Delirious 2026 It's raw, real, and incredibly relatable. And honestly? These are the conversations runners need to hear. Big love to Gabe for showing up with such honesty — there's gold in this episode for every ultra-runner who's ever hit the “why am I doing this?” moment.   Delirious WEST event Website – https://deliriouswest200miler.com.au/ Event Facebook Page – https://www.facebook.com/groups/1428304207182387   A couple of BIG favours: 1) please like and review this podcast so more people will discover it :) 2) come on the podcast and talk about your running journey and/or refer someone you'd love me to interview (whether you know them or not :) )  Lets not keep the power of running a secret any more!  Hit me up on Facebook/Instagram (ZenRUN.club) or send me an email - Hello @ zenrun.club   Don't miss an episode of the ZenRUN Podcast.

NIO founder, chairman and CEO William Li held a private media briefing on November 27, 2025 at NIO headquarters in Shanghai where he made a bold statement about Q4 profitability targets. When asked if there's a backup plan in case profitability targets aren't met on schedule, Li responded there is no Plan BThis statement comes two days after NIO reported Q3 2025 earnings showing net loss of 3.48 billion REN, the lowest since Q3 2022, and adjusted non-GAAP net loss of 2.74 billion REN, down 38.0 percent year-over-year. During the November 25 earnings call, management reiterated confidence in achieving the company's first quarterly profit in Q4 2025 with the goal of reaching full-year breakeven in 2026.But, NIO revised Q4 delivery guidance downward from the previously stated 150,000 unit target to 120,000-125,000 vehicles, a reduction of approximately 25,000 units. This means NIO is attempting to achieve profitability with lower deliveries than originally planned, making the margin of error extremely tight.Analysts are divided on whether NIO can achieve Q4 profitability. CMB International projects NIO will likely miss the Q4 breakeven target, estimating a net loss of 1.6 billion REN with non-GAAP adjusted net loss of 700 million REN, citing challenges in controlling sales and administrative expenses. Conversely, JP Morgan believes NIO is poised to turn profitable in Q4 and reach a profitability inflection point in 2026.Li addressed several challenges during the media briefing. He stated the abrupt withdrawal of trade-in subsidies significantly impacted the market in ways the industry hadn't anticipated, leading to a sharp decline in new orders across the sector. Multiple Chinese provinces and cities phased out vehicle trade-in subsidies over recent months, and starting January 1, 2026, new energy vehicle purchases will face a 5 percent purchase tax instead of full exemption.Li's strategy is to maintain price stability because NIO still has backlog orders for the all-new ES8 which performs well in its segment. He acknowledged that all other models except the NIO ES8, Firefly, and upcoming ET9 have been affected by market conditions. The ES8 is critical to Q4 profitability as it's NIO's highest-margin vehicle with management targeting 40,000 ES8 deliveries for full-year 2025, the majority coming in Q4 with margins exceeding 20 percent.Li also revealed a significant strategic shift in NIO's business philosophy, stating the company is no longer solely pursuing sales volume but focusing more on operational quality with the core goal being annual profitability. He noted NIO has invested heavily in foundational R&D over recent years including chips, operating systems, and the 900-volt high-voltage platform, and this foundational work is now complete with subsequent efforts requiring less substantial investment. Quarterly R&D spending of 2 billion REN remains sufficient to maintain competitiveness.Importantly, Li acknowledged that with just over 1 percent market share in China's 30 million-unit annual vehicle market, NIO lacks the standing to consider ventures beyond automobiles, stating for a considerable period the company will remain focused on refining automotive products, working hard to build them and sell them.Li acknowledged Q1 2026 will be traditionally challenging for the auto industry but noted NIO still holds a backlog of ES8 orders to help cushion the impact. He expressed confidence in achieving the full-year 2026 profitability target despite market uncertainties.This episode analyzes what no Plan B actually means across three layers: organizational focus, all-in mentality, and market messaging. It examines whether this bold public commitment is confident leadership or sets up potential credibility damage if targets are missed. Key metrics to watch include December delivery numbers announced January 1st, ES8 delivery volumes, price stability versus promotional activity, and Q1 2026 guidance during Q4 earnings.

The Christian Sorority Movement has offered many women looking for spiritual fellowship and association with other women a forum for sisterhood and developing Christian bonds...but what happens when this doesn't happen? Where is one left when dealing with exclusionary behavior, a divided organization, backbiting, gossip, false accusations, leadership theft, and more? In this latest rewind from Season 1, Episode 29, Apostle Dr. Lee Ann Marino shares her experience within the Christian sorority movement, with two organizations and then a third that outgrew from an earlier one. Honest, candid, reflective, and deeply sincere, learn the ins and outs of the experience, the experience of belonging, and what, in the end, ultimately happened when she left.

To celebrate 500 episodes of the Financial Freedom with Real Estate Podcast, Michael flips the script and answers your biggest questions. Listeners submitted their favorite episodes plus their most burning questions about scaling, quitting a W-2, raising capital, working with brokers, avoiding bad deals, parenting, mindset, and even… Michael's net worth. This special episode is packed with hard-earned wisdom from a decade of podcasting and real-world investing experience.Key Takeaways: Time is not the real barrier — priority is. With 5 focused hours a week, you can build a multimillion-dollar real estate business on the side. When to quit your W-2? It's personal. Burn-the-boats works for some, but most people exit when acquisition fees and deal income create a meaningful financial runway. Comfort zone determines whether you buy a duplex or a 50-unit. Touring larger properties stretches your perceived limits instantly. Raising capital is easier than you think. Engineers, introverts, and first-timers routinely raise $500K–$750K within 60 days with the right playbook. You don't need to raise all the money yourself. Capital raisers and deal finders are natural partners — leverage ecosystems and joint ventures. How to stand out to brokers: Build a team first, stop using newbie language, stay responsive, and meet them in person. Know when to walk away from a deal: Sometimes you should — sometimes you shouldn't. Experienced mentors help you see the difference. Focus on passive income, not net worth. Financial freedom is when passive income exceeds living expenses. Most valuable life lesson for his kids: Live intentionally. Not defaulting into a career or life path. Success is less about outcomes and more about who you become. Mindset, peace, and character matter more than money.

Send us a textGrow to love yourself!I like what Bianca shares.  Honesty.  She is a licensed Mental Health Counselor and Co-Founder of The Evolve Ventures Podcast and Business.  She is also the Director of Therapy for Evolve Ventures Technologies LLC.She speaks to the relationship with self.  Growing up in a chaotic home and being a scapegoat led Bianca to pursue this path.  She shares that she has Borderline Personality Disorder.  She struggled with what may have been "bulimarexia," and we touch on self-harm, abusive relationships, being a rebel, and trying to escape.Bianca shared that body image, and particularly in the Middle Eastern world, is very prevalent, and many women will get plastic surgery to look good for their potential spouse.It's prevalent everywhere.  Older women are leaning towards Botox, facelifts, tummy tucks, and so on because it's a societal and social media thing.  I loved how brutally honest Bianca was when I told her I was going through some big life changes, some great, but some really bothersome, and she asked me if it triggered my bulimia.  It didn't at all.  She said I was one of the lucky ones.I wish that luck on everyone who has recovered and will recover.  It was there at the beginning... three years or so, but after soon to be 15 years, it's not even a thought to go to when struggles that used to trigger my bulimia even go there.Truth is, Bianca may be right.  I may be blessed with not feeling like going back to bulimia at all.  Not dieting at all.  Just, I guess, one of my go tos is ChatGPT.  Sorry, but true.  If struggling, I speak to that AI program and ask for a soothing poem, or even if I am wrong in feeling what I do.  Wish there was a ChatGPT way back in the 80s.  I know it's not a therapist, but when you can't afford one, and you look for some semblance of normalcy in your life, it's my go-to.  Not food.  However, it took me time to get here, and 30 years of bulimia to know I don't want to go back, that there are better ways.Bianca is a better way if you are still struggling.  You need a personal connection.  That is how I healed.  And the rest is a journey forward to enjoying life and dinners with family without the "human cameras" waiting for you to disappear.  To actually enjoy food and company at the same time.I hope you enjoy listening to this as much as I enjoyed being there and interacting with Bianca.You can find her at the link below:https://evolveventurestech.com/evolve-ventures-coaching/therapy-2/On Instagram @evolvewithBiancavia email: bianca@evolveventurestech.comWonderful conversation and loved, as I am repeating myself, honesty.Thank you, Bianca!!BE A GUEST/FIND A GUEST Start for Free!PODMATCH is innovative, provides easy communication and dashboard scheduling!

Inside the Lancashire Tactical Firefighting Summit: A Four-Part Series on Modern Firefighting.In part one of this mini series, Dan Stephens breaks down the findings from his cumulative inspection of all three Welsh fire and rescue services, focusing on operational effectiveness at domestic dwelling fires. He walks through three years of data, nearly fifteen hundred dwelling fires per year and reveals the patterns that emerge when you strip away assumptions. From the true prevalence of fuel-controlled fires, to the widespread misreporting of “well alight,” to the over-reliance on nineteen millimetre hose reels even in post-flashover environments, Dan shows how these decisions shape firefighter survivability, civilian outcomes and the scale of avoidable damage.He also highlights the human factors at play: the limits of experiential learning, the legacy of outdated and conflicting operational policies, and the lack of clarity around what “good” looks like on the fireground. Dan doesn't point the finger at firefighters. Instead, he shows where the system has failed them and why now is the moment to rebuild doctrine, training and operational expectations properly. This opening episode sets the tone for the full series. Honest analysis, shared learning and a clear push for capability built on evidence rather than folklore.Access all episodes, documents, GIVEAWAYS & debriefs HEREPodcast Apparel, Hoodies, Flags, Mugs HEREPODCAST GIFT - FREE subscription to essential Firefighting publications HERE A big thanks to our partners for supporting this episode.GORE-TEX Professional ClothingMSA The Safety CompanyIDEXFIRE & EVACUATION SERVICE LTD HAIX Footwear - Get offical podcast discount on HAIX HEREXendurance - to hunt performance & endurance 20% off HERE with code ffp20Lyfe Linez -  Get Functional Hydration FUEL for FIREFIGHTERS, Clean no sugar  for daily hydration. 80% of people live dehydratedSend us a textSupport the show***The views expressed in this episode are those of the individual speakers.

In this deeply honest and emotional episode, Jen sits down with mindset coach and soon-to-be mum, Breanna May, to unpack the side of IVF that doesn't make it onto the glossy brochures. From being labelled “high risk” after multiple cervical procedures, to navigating distrust in the medical system, fear of needles, and the grief of failed transfers, Breanna takes us inside the reality of trying to conceive when it wasn't supposed to be this hard.Breanna shares how she moved from resisting IVF to finally surrendering to support, the mental gymnastics of reframing daily injections as “baby juice,” and the moment everything changed during her second transfer – from a shooting-star embryo on the screen to reading “pregnant” on a test while camping with her husband. She also reflects on how IVF impacted her identity, body image, relationship, and ultimately, her belief in her own body again.In this episode, you'll hear:Breanna's journey from “I'll fall pregnant easily” to years of unexplained infertilityHow past cervical surgeries turned her pregnancy into “high risk” and complicated embryo transferThe mindset shift that helped her finally accept IVF and reframe injections as an act of lovePractical tips to survive the wait after transfer (and why staying busy matters)The power of surrender and belief: “Whether you think you can or you think you can't, you're right.”If you're walking the IVF path, feeling like you “shouldn't” be here or wondering how much more you can take, this conversation is a tender, validating reminder that you're not alone – and that hope can still live inside a really hard story.Would like to access tailored 1:1 sleep support but don't know where to start?

WCR Nation Ep. 442 | A Window Cleaning Podcast The Origins of WCR with Chris Lambrinides Ever wonder how WCR came to life? Today, Jersey sits down with the legend himself, Chris Lambrinides, co-founder of Window Cleaning Resource, for a rare and unfiltered conversation.

Hola Amiga! I'm today's episode, Haley enters a beautiful conversation with her dear friend Kristine. Kindness is a marker for their friendship and they share how the act of kindness and honesty can move mountains in ways far beyond what we could imagine. There is so much power in being kind to one another - friends, family, strangers, yourself - and we are not to discount the fruit that kindness gives. Connected with kindness, honesty is a path of healing, trust, and breakthrough. Becoming honest with yourself, with others, and the Lord forms a life of freedom where our true self is revealed and received. We are designed to do life together knowing that shame, guilt, or fear is not a part of the equation but love. We hope you enjoy and learn to cultivate a life of friendships rooted in kindness, honesty, and love.  Love your,  Amigas!    Connect with us:  Instagram: @Amigaarise  https://www.instagram.com/amigaarise/ Facebook: @Amiga Arise https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100083723596616 Email: Amigaarise@gmail.com Website: https://www.amigaarise.com   References: A Prayer Shaped Life: Compassion https://open.spotify.com/episode/1bR4N334yoYwG12IvKqsHv?si=prpo1I_MQRCnUT4WS9SMqQ Psalm 84:10-12, ESV

[00:00:09] Diane Bouis: The inventions and technologies are fascinating and so are the people who work with them. [00:00:15] Frank Jaskulke: There was a period of time where I realized, fundamentally, my job was to go hang out with really smart people that are saving lives and then do work that would help them save more lives. [00:00:28] Diane Bouis: I got into the business to save lives and it is incredibly motivating to work with people who are in that same business, saving or improving lives. [00:00:38] Duane Mancini: What better industry than where I get to wake up every day and just save people's lives. [00:00:42] Lindsey Dinneen: These are extraordinary people doing extraordinary work, and this is The Leading Difference. Hello and welcome back to another episode of The Leading Difference podcast. I'm your host Lindsey, and today I'm absolutely delighted to introduce you to Charu Roy. Charu is the Chief Product Officer at Enlil, where she leads product strategy, vision, and execution for the company's AI powered medtech development platform. With over two decades of experience building and scaling enterprise software products, Charu brings deep industry expertise in product management, user-centered design, and go to market leadership. Before Enlil, she held senior product roles at industry leaders, including Epicor, Oracle, I-2 Technologies slash Aspect Development, HP and Agile Software, where she drove software innovation across enterprise cloud SaaS and data driven solutions. Known for her ability to align customer needs with business strategy, she is passionate about delivering products that transform complex industries and enable measurable impact. Well, welcome, Charu, to the conversation today. I'm so excited to be speaking with you. [00:01:54] Charu Roy: Thank you so much for having me. I'm very really excited about being here on this podcast. [00:02:00] Lindsey Dinneen: Oh, awesome. Yeah. Well, I would love, if you wouldn't mind starting off by sharing a little bit about yourself, your background, and what led you to medtech. [00:02:10] Charu Roy: Sure. As every other sort of person who gets into the software world, I came in a while back in 1987 to 89, where I did Master's in Computer Science at University of Louisiana. That was my first introduction to America, really. And computer science brought me to the Bay Area where I worked at HP, Hewlett Packard. In those days, it was called Scientific Instruments Division in Palo Alto. And there I programmed robotic hands to, to sort of move that, the vial from samples, drug samples from athletes so that they could get tested for drugs. So, I didn't know the importance of all this. It was my first job. I enjoyed myself seven years, you know, software programming, really, and understood how a large company works. And then slowly I started getting a little bored. So I went on to my next startup and was involved in the same kind of principles that drive things today. So I just sort of built my way up. In terms of the software, I joined different groups, ran consulting services, ran engineering, and sort of worked myself up through the ranks and into sort of more decision making capabilities, and you know, continued to join companies and learn new things and leave them for some better opportunities. So I moved from Hewlett Packard to a startup that was called Aspect Development, which got sold to I-2 Technologies for $9.3 billion in those days. So, you know, I went through that acquisition, trying to understand the market, what kind of software triggers buying, you know-- so sort of just the software aspects of how to sell software, how to develop software, how to deploy it. So in general, I was learning all of the ropes until I came to Agile PLM, which is a company which, very popular company which made it very sort of easy to deploy software, especially software called Product Lifecycle Management. So I was -- here, I was in and out of companies, learning and understanding the world of software until I fell into med device companies being my customers. So med device being our customers meant, you know, a lot more strictness, a lot more process, with the software itself. So here I was trying to now go through those kind of features, trying to understand what med device needed when they were building products. So, from Agile, I went to Conformia. Again, it was the same, it was regulatory product for wine, spirits and pharma --very adjacent to med device. But again, it was the same thing about how to be provide, how to provide a traceable platform where our customers can trace there, the make of the wine or make of the spirit, or make of a pharma drug or make off of med device. All the principles underlying it are the same because it's a regulated product at the end of the day, but so that's how I kind of fell into it, and I enjoyed every bit of that until I got acquired by Oracle. And so I continued at Oracle doing the same thing over and over again; rebuilt the same products again at Oracle in the clouds, and I was managing the old Agile products. So it's an interesting journey where I was, you know, started off as a software programmer. And I didn't know anything about, you know, the use cases until the time I sort of joined Oracle and understood my customers better. And that's how I came in there. And of course I was at Epicor and finally I made my way to Enlil, which is a very small company, and I'm doing the same thing again. It's just with a different set of customers, very small to medium sized companies. So that's how my career sort of spanned 30 years. [00:06:11] Lindsey Dinneen: Wow. Oh my goodness. Well, there is so much to dive into all of that. Thank you for sharing. It's so cool to hear about all of the winding paths that lead us to maybe, you know, where we're meant to be in, in any given season. And yeah, I just love learning about it. So, okay. So I'm curious, you know, way back when did you like growing up, did you always have an interest in computers and computer science? Is this something you knew you wanted to get into? [00:06:40] Charu Roy: Not at all, actually it was a suggestion, and in those days, parents kind of suggested that you be a engineer or a doctor or a chartered accountant. The choices were very limited. And so my father said, "you will do computer science." And I said, "okay." And there I was and there was no, no sort of emotional attachment to any of those professions. And, I liked it well enough to continue, and I found it was easy enough to understand the principles and work at it. So yeah, there was no-- you know, in these days I think kids are training themselves like by seven or eight to program. And I'm seeing, you know, machine language I mean AI, ML, LLMs being taught to seven year olds and sort of trying to shape them, but in those days it was just some very simple choices, I guess. So, yeah, not a very romantic story. I was never programming younger in my younger days, but I think you know, compared to all the choices youngsters have these days, but just fell into it. [00:07:44] Lindsey Dinneen: Sure. Oh, how fun. You know, even though, yes, it was somewhat prescribed for you, at least originally, and I'm so glad that you fell in love and it ended up being a happy place for you because... [00:07:57] Charu Roy: Yeah, and I think I fell in love with the customer, how customers reacted to the software. I didn't fall in love with the software delivery process or anything else, but it was just the way customers said, "oh, I like that. It's gonna make it easier for me to do something. I'm having a tough time tracking it on paper. I just hate it what I'm doing right now, and your software will help." So I think that's a part that makes me feel really pleased that okay it's going into some good hands and it's going to be used. [00:08:30] Lindsey Dinneen: Yes, by people who really appreciate and value what you can contribute, what maybe comes --at this point, I guess-- naturally to you. And so it's, you're able to translate somebody's ideas or dreams into a really tangible solution. [00:08:48] Charu Roy: Yeah. And in fact, somebody's pain points, like they're really sort of, trying their best to use little resources they might have, wasting a lot of time on either tracking something on paper or in emails. And I think those are the kind of pain points that I really like to understand and say, "Hey, will the software help really help your day to day life? Will it make it easier to find things?" I think that's where I find my sort of biggest thrill of when a customer says, "Yes, you shaved off three hours of my time by giving me this efficient system." [00:09:26] Lindsey Dinneen: Nice. Yeah. Oh my goodness. Yes , and the products that you're making are indeed life impacting and make a difference. And that is rewarding because you know that the work you --do all work is important, but it's really fun when you get to know personally the impact that you get to have. [00:09:45] Charu Roy: Right, right. [00:09:46] Lindsey Dinneen: Yeah. Yeah. So, okay, so I'm, I'd love to dive in a little bit more to your current company and role and learn about that, and how you're helping, you're still helping people you know, win through this. [00:10:00] Charu Roy: So, yes, absolutely. Enlil is part of Shifamed, the portfolio. Shifamed invests in med device devices typically, so ophthalmology devices or cardio devices. Enlil came about as an enterprise software company within the portfolio because they realized that they needed some software to throw all their data into, right? So they had early designs, prototype data. They might have had some user requirements, what kind of standards they might have to follow. So all those were floating about, again, in emails and paper. Enlil came in saying that we can store this data more successfully, more cleanly in a structured fashion so that our users can find that data. And this becomes really important as the med device company moves on and tries to apply for regulatory approval at that time, they need all that history and the data behind the device. And they wanna be able to find it easily and present it to auditors. So, Enlil's a structured way of describing all the data that the customer has and being able to find it easily and then run their audits using the data. So it's a very crucial part of their lifecycle, their product lifecycle. And so it's really important for us to be secure, reliable, available, 24/7. All of that applies to us and basically defines how they go about driving their product lifecycle. [00:11:34] Lindsey Dinneen: Yeah. Well, and you know, one thing that stood out to me when you were talking about that was of course the security aspect. And as we all know, we're, we're probably much more so than in the past, hyper aware of the critical need for cybersecurity and the role it plays specifically in medical device technology. And I'm curious if you could speak a little bit more to that particular element. [00:11:55] Charu Roy: Yeah, we have a lot of layers of security, you know, right from the folks who are accessing the software. The software is hosted in a well-known, reputable cloud service environment. So apart from them providing us cybersecurity and access control and everything else, we have another set of layers on top of that. So our users are vetted and they all have a password. People can be invited and not just sort of show up. So, there's a lot of control of what they can see and can do. Every button sort of, you know, has a role behind it or a layer of control. So not everyone can do everything and press any and all buttons. So, security is at many levels. And we also have a lot of audit trails, e-signatures, and so on. So everything is done to protect the data, and audits are run regularly by them and by us to make sure that nobody who's supposed to be, you know, people who are not supposed to see the data, don't see the data. [00:13:01] Lindsey Dinneen: Yeah. Excellent. Yeah, I know that's just something that is, should be at least, on the forefront, especially of startups' minds as they're thinking about this and working towards having a really secure device. So it sounds like you've built in all of that safeguarding really well and really intentionally. So, so, okay, so I know that -- well, there's a few things that really stood out to me on your LinkedIn profile, and I'm just curious if we could dive into a couple things. One was, I love how you said that you're "passionate about teams and people delivering to their full potential," and I was wondering if you could speak a little bit more to that. [00:13:42] Charu Roy: Yeah, so, you know, along the years I've noticed that people in my team, the team members, they're there, they're working hard, but I do like to understand what's making them tick, what might they be wanting to do, which they haven't got gotten to do yet. Can we unlock some potential, some skill, some talent? And I think that comes about by sort of just talking about it , trying to give them openings about, "Hey, look, I've got this cool project or this cool feature. Any thoughts on that?" Just to understand, are they happy doing what they're doing, or is there something more they could do? And so I think that human touch, you know, is -- it was given to me, or at least it was taught to me by some mentors along the way. And I think that's a part that I really like to explore and see how can teams do better, not just in a numbers, not just turnaround features and releases on time, but are they happy doing it? Did they contribute something meaningful along the way? Did they feel they grew in the process? Did they feel they were recognized for some new responsibilities that they may not have stepped up for in some other companies? So that's a feeling I'm trying to always give them and sort of hoping that we contribute to their growth, not just the company and the bottom line. [00:15:02] Lindsey Dinneen: Yeah, that's critical and key,, and really speaks to who you are as a leader. And I'm actually very curious, you know, you mentioned earlier having kind of worked your way up at HP and then, you know, that may be opening some doors for you for of course, your future opportunities, and I'm curious, what has your own leadership journey looked like? Has, does leadership come naturally to you? Have you spent a lot of, you know, time and resources, whatever, developing those skill sets or how did that work for you? [00:15:29] Charu Roy: I think I was thrown into the deep end of the pool several times, you know, like, so I kicked into the pool, so to learn to swim. So similarly I was made to take on responsibility pretty much the very beginning. So I kind of knew that there were certain things expected that I should be doing, can be doing and then this introspection saying that, did I give the right amount of energy to that particular responsibility and did I do well? So just a lot of introspection and being able to understand, did I do well as a leader? But I've been honing it, honing skills. I mean, nothing out of an MBA school, nothing out of, you know, college that helped me. I think it was just about pure interest in psychology, pure interest in humans, you know, just being able to connect and how did I make them feel? How did they make me feel in those interactions? And is that, was that good? Was there something we could do to incorporate more people to get that feeling of ownership or anything? So it wasn't a, you know, by rote or something that I learned in a school. It was more of just sort of. Being thrown into situations where I had to come out of it somewhat gracefully and some somewhat feeling like I had also learned along the way. [00:16:46] Lindsey Dinneen: Yeah. Yeah, that, that's wonderful and incredible. And I think, you know, you mentioned learning along the way, and one thing also that stood out to me was, the recommendations on your profiles are so lovely for you. And two things stood out: they, one thing was somebody mentioned you're always learning, which is a gift in and of itself. And then the other thing was you're always letting others succeed. And that's such a beautiful gift and I'm wondering if you could talk more about both of those as well. [00:17:16] Charu Roy: Yeah, I think it's not about just me being sort of the boss and being able to tell people what to do, though I think success comes from enabling or encouraging the teams to again contribute without any barriers, any levels, or politics. I love the fact that we are in a small company, and I can say safely that, you know, politics --in larger companies there are politics. People are always trying to sort of be showing that they are very valuable. But in a small startup, it's very quickly apparent that there are certain valuable players there and startups, everybody is valuable, right? So I think being able to encourage the team members to do what they think is best for the problem to solve it. And of course, there are reasons why you can't sometimes accept the solution, but the fact that they're thinking about it and the fact they're able to openly express their opinions and say, "No, you're wrong, Charu." I think this is the way to do it. I love that. I think, somebody disagrees with me in a meeting, I just think that's the best thing that could have happened as a style of management. Because I'm not, you know, insecure in that sense. I don't sulk afterwards. I have had bosses and so on who don't like that kind of, you know, disagreements in public. And I think that's a part where I beg to differ, and I want to have people say what they think, what are they feeling, what are the problems, really the truth, and fix it, really. So I think it's less waste of a time when people are honest, and get to the point, and we are able to solve it together rather than hide behind, you know, facades, I guess. [00:19:01] Lindsey Dinneen: Yeah, that's beautiful. And yeah, I've often said for me personally, that, you know, more heads are better than one. I mean, I could have a, an opinion on whatever it is that we're talking about, but really, until we collaborate and start sharing those ideas and those thoughts and opinions , all of a sudden those kinds of sparks happen where, you know, you start with one thing and then it, and then somebody else catches that and they take it even to the next level and it just keeps going. And it's so cool to see the creativity and problem solving and innovation that comes from allowing those conversations. [00:19:36] Charu Roy: Yes, exactly. Creativity and innovation. You've said it so well. That comes with smart people being in the same room, arguing, not agreeing, and then something comes out of that, right? I mean, either your thoughts get clearer because you've seen every side of the coin and you're able to say, "Okay, I know the pros and cons and we can go this way, knowing the full effect of what we are going to do." So I think surrounding myself with smart people who have varied opinions, I think that's a beauty and a blessing really. [00:20:12] Lindsey Dinneen: Yes it is, and you've nailed it with varying opinions. You know, it's easy to get yourself into a situation-- and not necessarily intentionally-- but just it's easy to give into a situation where you've surrounded yourself with people who all kind of have the same opinions on things. And so inviting those conversations to take place that might be difficult, might be challenging, might be frustrating at times, but allowing for that and being open to other points of view and experience. I mean, that's the beauty of a really good collaborative environment is all of those varying opinions that don't necessarily match yours. [00:20:50] Charu Roy: Yes, exactly. Exactly. [00:20:52] Lindsey Dinneen: Yeah. Yeah. So, okay, so looking back, could 10-year-old you have ever imagined where you'd end up today? [00:21:00] Charu Roy: No, absolutely not. I thought I wanted to be a doctor or something vague. 10-year-old me was climbing trees and eating guavas off the trees in Delhi. So it was really crazy childhood. And you know, it wasn't filled with studies and rules and stuff. So I think coming to this, a country when I was young, being able to absorb everything, the culture, the of course the education itself and being able to sort of grow within the companies that I joined, i, I think that was the journey that I was sort of a pointing more towards rather than the childhood me. The childhood me was horrible, I think. [00:21:46] Lindsey Dinneen: Oh man. Honest reflection right there. That's awesome. Yeah, okay. Are there any moments that really stand out to you, perhaps with your current position or, you know, something in your past where you really thought, "Wow, what I'm doing makes a difference. I am in the right industry, at the right time, in the right place." [00:22:07] Charu Roy: I think it's the technology now that, you know, speaking from a technical viewpoint of shipping software, meaning full software, more easily, the time is now. I feel that the culmination of everything I've learned about pain points and users and customers, all of that's culminating in in the product that I'm managing right now, using new technologies, having the right technologies to choose from and being able to propel that software forward to our users. I feel that, "Wow, what a time to be a product officer really, when we have so many choices and being able to be able to apply that to real world problems and real pain points." I had the same pain points 20 years ago, even 30 years ago, but we couldn't do much. We had to, you know, write painful programs. We had to write database queries and, you know, things like that. It was quite painful, I would say. And then now to see all the tools where we can create things overnight and be able to ship it to customers, just hitting the nail on the head. We had to experiment a lot in the old days but I think the time now is is really special. We are on an sort of an industrial revolution or a computer science revolution here with the AI, MML, the LLMs, being able to do so much with probably less resources than before. So. [00:23:39] Lindsey Dinneen: Yeah. So seeing the impact of the work and getting to not have it be so painful. [00:23:45] Charu Roy: Yes. It used be very painful and now I'm thinking, I think we're at the right time, right place now with this product. And it's not just about the products. It's the kind of help we are getting as software professionals to help deliver software and support our users. I think that's really special and I, we are still learning, we're still trying to understand all the technologies that are available to us and how can we make our lives easier and our customers feel that we've solved some problems for them. [00:24:14] Lindsey Dinneen: Yeah, absolutely. And I think that there's just, it is really wonderful again-- just to, to circle back to this kind of been a running theme of getting to be able to experience for the end user or with the end user, that moment of, "Oh wow, I needed this is so helpful and it's gonna make a difference." [00:24:36] Charu Roy: Yeah. I remember in my past, same sort of software tracking wine being made. And that software was pretty cool. It, it used to track where the wine sat and which barrel for how long. And so the pleasure of talking to wine makers, and being able to show them how the software track the progress of the wine and being able to print out a label at the very end for them, saying that "this wine sat in these bottles or these barrels for a while," and that technology application for a simple, naive user, I thought that was it. That was the, you know, the culmination of all the learnings that I had over the years to be able to explain the software so easily to a end user who might be a distiller or a winemaker or somebody, a farmer. I thought that was pretty cool. And that since then, of course, technology has changed, but I think we're beginning to see the effect on a naive user, which we couldn't do, you know, 30 years ago. [00:25:37] Lindsey Dinneen: Yeah, absolutely. Oh my goodness. That is, it is so cool. And I love the work you're doing and just learning all about your history so far and just exciting to see where it's gonna end up too, and as you continue along your career path, but pivoting the conversation a little bit just for fun. Imagine that you were to be offered a million dollars to teach a masterclass on anything you want, could be within your area of expertise, it doesn't have to be. What would you choose to teach? [00:26:06] Charu Roy: I would probably think about teaching psychology of the individual. I don't have a PhD or a even basic courses in psychology, but I just love the fact that, you know, you can apply psychology, figure out how a user might or somebody might react to something that you say, do, think so I, if it was a master class and I'd be teaching you know, teaching more about life interactions, you know, ordinary interactions. How can they be made more meaningful, more fruitful, using psychological tricks or phrases? I don't know all of those things, but I would really think that I could teach that based on, you know, facial expressions, body mannerisms, or body-- what do they call it, sort of, you know, criminal stories. They read your mind based on certain mannerisms of flutter viol. So yes, psychology is a masterclass I would teach, but more applied to daily interactions, maybe work situations and being able to use psychology better to improve your own work relationships with people and even just general interactions. Yeah, so that would be my attempt at being a psychologist and eventually be a criminal psychologist. [00:27:28] Lindsey Dinneen: Yes. Oh my goodness. That would be so interesting. Yeah, I love that idea. And the masterclass sounds fabulous, so I'm signing up whenever you do it. [00:27:37] Charu Roy: Okay, I'll go get my degrees for it then. [00:27:40] Lindsey Dinneen: Right, right, right. Yeah. Ah, details. Awesome. How do you wish to be remembered after you leave this world? [00:27:50] Charu Roy: This is something that I've always felt deeply about. It's not what you say or what you do, it's how you make people feel, that Maya Angelo said that this much nicer than what I'm saying, but and I've had a few people say this to me, saying that, "We worked together 30 years ago, but that day you made me feel good." And I don't even remember what I said, what I did, but the fact that they remember me for what I made them feel. The fact that somebody also told me that they "don't avoid me when I'm walking up to them because, because I make them feel like things are okay, things are good, however bad the problem is." So they say that with other people they would duck and, you know, go away in the opposite direction. But with me they're waiting for me to come up to them. I'd like to continue that, that feeling that somebody feels like, "Hey, you are coming up to them and you just make them feel good in some fashion." Nothing else. I think that feeling, if I could evoke in people, they say, "Oh yeah, she made me feel good that day. I don't know what she said, but she made me feel good." That's enough. [00:29:01] Lindsey Dinneen: Yeah, that, yes, that is more than enough. What a beautiful legacy. Yeah, and then final question, what is one thing that makes you smile every time you see or think about it? [00:29:15] Charu Roy: I think my dogs smile. I would say he's got missing teeth and so when he looks at me when I first come, you know, come back home and he is smiling almost, and he is sniffling and, you know, trying to sneeze and smile at the same time. Oh my God, what kind of a character dog this is? So that makes me smile and laugh the whole time, especially the missing teeth. Poor thing. He doesn't understand that his teeth are missing because of me, and yet he's smiling at me, so. [00:29:50] Lindsey Dinneen: That is so sweet and cute. Oh my goodness. I love, I know somebody at one point said, "You know, dogs don't actually smile." I don't believe them. They smile. [00:30:00] Charu Roy: They smile and they choke while they smile because my dog has a small nose, I guess. So he chokes when he smiles, and so he is choking, and he is smiling, and this missing teeth there. I was like, "Oh my God." [00:30:16] Lindsey Dinneen: Oh my goodness. Yes. I mean, that would just I, yes, I can just sort of picture this. I love, love dogs and so I'm just picturing this and I, that would bring me joy every single day, definitely. Excellent. Well, this has been such a wonderful time spent with you today. Thank you for sharing your stories and your journey and your advice, and I really appreciate some of those in particular, your leadership advice, and the impact that you can have as a leader, inviting the collaboration, having conversations that encourage people to have varying opinions and maybe outright disagree with you.

We're really grateful to have you. [00:31:10] Charu Roy: Thank you, and thank you so much for your intelligent questions and insightful questions that go above and beyond just you know, a company and it's gold. It's there, there's something so human about your questions-- and I love when I'm like, "Oh my goodness, this is so, so interesting to see in this day and age, somebody taking the time to ask such questions" and I really appreciate you for that. [00:31:36] Lindsey Dinneen: Oh, thank you. Well, I really appreciate that feedback too, because it's, you know, you come up with an idea-- speaking of sometimes echo chambers, you come up with an idea and you think, "Oh, this is how I'd like to go about this, but does it resonate with somebody else?" So that's delightful to hear. [00:31:51] Charu Roy: Fantastic, thank you, thank you for having me. [00:31:54] Lindsey Dinneen: And we're so honored to be making a donation on your behalf as a thank you for your time today to the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, which is dedicated to preventing animal cruelty in the United States.

Jed returns to the show for one of his most honest conversations yet. After years of sharing his growth and wisdom on this podcast, he recently experienced a relapse - and he shows up with raw transparency about what happened. We talk openly about the dishonesty and poor decision-making that comes with using, the shame that follows, and the painful reality of breaking trust with the people who love us most. Jed reflects on what it takes to rebuild that trust, how he's finding his footing again, and why this chapter, though difficult, is part of his continued journey in recovery. This is a vulnerable, grounded conversation about being human, starting over, and choosing honesty even when it's hard.DM me on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Message me on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Facebook⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Listen AD FREE & workout with me on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Patreon⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Connect with me on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠TikTok⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Email me chasingheroine@gmail.comSee you next week!

Episode 115 — Honest Dialogue in MarriageDavid & Vicki share how their marriage has changed when they were able to talk honestly with each other. This required real humility and teachability.Strong marriages require honest dialogue to function in a healthy way.

Pick it up because it's short. Continue it because of the brutal Bavarian accent. Finish it because maybe he's on to something? The Future of Truth By: Werner Herzog Published: 2025 128 Pages Briefly, what is this book about? Legendary badass, and sometimes filmmaker Werner Herzog weighs in on the concept of truth, how best to represent truth, and what's happening to it. Drawing on his own experiences he distinguishes between dry, factual truth, and what he calls ecstatic truth, a deeper kind of truth revealed by art.  Who should read this book? I don't think anyone should literally read this book. It's best consumed as an audiobook with Herzog's strangely compelling narration carrying you along. With a voice like Herzog's and clocking in at only 3.5 hours of audio, it almost doesn't matter what it's about. What does the book have to say about the future?

We made it to the FINALE- and nothing could've prepared us for what this last episode threw at us. At this point, we were exhausted, worn down, and hanging on by whatever grit we had left. The DS pushed us into the most intense test of the entire course: capture, interrogation, zero sleep, and moments that forced us to stay locked in when our minds wanted to tap out. We are so proud of each other walking into that final challenge together and we're even more grateful you've been watching along with us. This finale was raw, surreal, and honestly one of the hardest things we've ever done. Can't wait to hear what you think and wrap up this wild journey with you. Love, Shawn & Andrew From Shawn: Self doubt has creeped in over the years… after retirement, a failed comeback, and 3 kids. I wondered if I could. I feared I couldn't. But dang….. it sure feels good knowing I did! I finished! It hurt. I learned a lot. I healed a lot. I'm better for it. Thank you to the DS for pushing me. You taught me so much! Getting those smiles and hugs at the end was the greatest reward! Thank you for being the best coaches ever. And to Gia… I'm so fricken proud of you! You pushed so hard and never gave up!

In this episode of the City Rev Life Podcast, Pastors Craig Stephens and Robey Barnes dive into what heaven might actually be like. Using imagery from Thanksgiving feasts, they explore the joy, celebration, and unity promised in Scripture. The hosts answer listener questions about heavenly feasts, the recognizability and physicality of resurrected bodies, and even fun speculation about abilities like movement or flying in eternity. They also discuss how relationships and identity are preserved, whether we can witness life on earth from heaven, and the promise of reunion with loved ones. Honest, biblical, and thought-provoking, this conversation helps listeners imagine the hope, joy, and fulfillment that await in the life to come.

0:00 - Yesterday, Prime held his final mid-week presser of the season. Our very own Mat Smith (in for Brett Kane) was in the building, and had a good back-and-forth exchange with Deion during the presser. Having been there, Mat said Prime was actually the most honest and open he's been in a while. He took away some of his trademark smoke and mirrors. 16:28 - Yesterday, the boys made fun of DMac for caring about the Rockies and the Warren Schaffer hire too much. This morning during the Appetizer Hour, DMac offered a retort. So naturally, we had to offer our rebuttal to DMac's retort, and make fun of him for being ridiculous. You know how this goes. 35:34 - We're off tomorrow and Friday, so let's make our final predictions for the Broncos @ Commanders game this Sunday. The Commanders are struggling right now, but should we take them seriously? Will Moser treat them as a legitimate opponent, or do what he always does and overlook them?

This week, I sit down with my friend and spiritual guide Christine Thompson for an honest conversation around psilocybin, plant medicine, and surrender. We get into how to know when it is (and isn't) your season to explore plant medicine, why curiosity matters more than “fixing,” and the unexpected skillset you actually need before you ever take a journey.We talk trauma, intention, and why psilocybin isn't an “easy button.” Christine shares how she discovered the power of mushrooms, the life-changing moment on a Florida beach that cracked her open, and what she's learned after nearly a decade of guiding others through this inner work.A word from my sponsors:K18 - Shop K18 mask at Sephora or get 10% off your first purchase with code KRISTIN at K18hair.com.Skims - Shop my favorite pajamas at SKIMS.com And if you're looking for the perfect gifts for everyone on your list - the SKIMS Holiday Shop is now open at SKIMS.comForia - Get 20% off your first order by visiting foriawellness.com/HONEST OR use code HONEST at checkoutARMRA - Go to armra.com/HONEST or enter HONEST to get 30% off your first subscription order.Cymbiotika - Go to Cymbiotika.com/Honest for 20% off plus free shippingThe Real Real - Get $25 off your first purchase when you go to TheRealReal.com/honestFor more Let's Be Honest, follow along at:@kristincavallari on Instagram@kristincavallari and @dearmedia on TikTokLet's Be Honest with Kristin Cavallari on YouTubeProduced by Dear Media.This episode may contain paid endorsements and advertisements for products and services.

The impact of today's major judicial events is already being felt far and wide. This is how spook judges get favors. Fast moves are unsustainable. The domino decision. How does the Tina Peters case compare? The delay technicality will have repurcusions. No vindication involved. Do you think we are that stupid? Who has authority and how is it granted? It's either pressure, patience or a strategy. A big boomerang lull is coming. MAGA should not be pissed. Methodical, precise and stealthy. There is a real person of interest to talk about. A Harris County Jail is used to keep people quit. Witnesses, assets or liabilities. Big megaphones always rule. The time space battlefield is never defended. Intimidation will not replace legality. Comey is all over this. Non certified machines were used against Trump in 2020. Dirty money is coming in. Military stars are involved in coup planning. The AI complications trip people up. Covering up crimes creates more. Let's stop focusing on falsehoods. Imagine a merit based media. Our woman just wants to fix things. The Colorado system deserves wrecking. It kind of had to be this way. People deserve clarity, facts and a complete version of the truth. It's both a vision and a goal.

This week… "Where have you been feeling confused? Where have you been telling yourself that you're confused? What's that confusion actually about? Underneath that confusion, are you actually clear? Do you actually have a strong feeling, maybe a bodily or an emotional or intuitive feeling that you don't want to accept? ...It's time to look at that confusion."This week-ahead reading for Nov 24-30, 2025 is an excerpt from this week's⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠Somatic Space class⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ with Renee Sills.

Gratitude can feel effortless when life and marriage are smooth—but what about when it's hard? In this episode, we explore how to practice honest gratitude even in seasons of struggle, disappointment, or unmet expectations. From grief and loss to conflict and emotional distance in marriage, we discuss ways couples can rebuild appreciation for each other, lean on God in difficult times, and use gratitude as a tool for hope, healing, and unity. Be encouraged to find thankfulness rooted in faith, not just feelings, even when your heart is hurting. Main Takeaways: Gratitude is challenging in seasons of struggle.   Honest gratitude is rooted in faith, not feelings.   Gratitude strengthens marriage and protects against division.   Spiritual rhythms help cultivate thankfulness. Quotes from this Episode: Choosing gratitude when you don't feel it isn't fake—it's faith in action. Sometimes, obedience comes before emotion.   When disappointment builds, we keep a mental ledger of failures and let resentment choke out gratitude.    Shifting your focus from what's wrong to what remains right isn't denial; it's a courageous act of faith, especially when you're hurting.   Gratitude flourishes when you intentionally move from deficit thinking to abundance thinking.   Don't compare your spouse to others—celebrate who they are and who they have become.   Feelings follow actions. Don't wait to feel grateful—do the grateful thing, and let your heart catch up.   Lament is honest, gratitude is hopeful. We need both, because lament without gratitude turns to bitterness, and gratitude without lament turns to denial.   Radical gratitude trusts in God's character, not in our circumstances. Couples Conversation Guide: "When life or our marriage feels hard, what makes it difficult for you to feel thankful? How can we support each other in those times?"   "How can we remind each other to choose gratitude rooted in faith, even when our emotions don't match our circumstances?"   "Are there ways we've lost sight of what we appreciate about each other? What's one thing we can start noticing and thanking each other for this week?"   "What daily or weekly habits—like prayer, Scripture, or reflection—could help us keep gratitude alive, even when things are tough?" Mentioned in this Episode: Awesome Marriage is on Instagram! Need to refocus and cultivate gratitude? Use these 11 Gratitude Prompts  We gathered all 685 answers, organized them into the top 10 themes, and added 1 practical step for each theme so husbands can better meet their wife's needs.

When your child lies about homework, screen time, or where they've been, it can feel like a punch to the gut. But what if lying isn't a sign of bad character, and instead a normal part of growing up? In this encore episode of “Ask Lisa: The Psychology of Raising Tweens and Teens,” psychologist Dr. Lisa Damour and journalist Reena Ninan look at lying from a developmental standpoint and help parents understand what's really going on when kids bend the truth. A request for privacy doesn't always mean something sneaky, and your response can make all the difference in whether your child learns to be honest.
