We’ve all heard it: “People just don’t like me because I’m honest.” But is that really the case? In this episode of The Friendship Tour, I unpack the truth behind honesty in friendships—where it helps, where it hurts, and how to do it well.

I explore the difference between honesty and bluntness, and why the way we speak truth matters more than ever in today’s friendship dynamics. With humor, wisdom, and lived experience, I share practical tools for being honest with love—so that your truth can be heard and actually build stronger relationships, not break them.

In This Episode, You’ll Learn:

• The difference between honesty and bluntness

• Why how you say something is just as important as what you say

• Key questions to ask yourself before "being honest"

• The right time, right place, right tone principle

• How to be a truth-teller and a good friend

Take This With You:

“Most people like honesty. Most people don’t like bluntness.”

Listener Challenge: Before offering your honest thoughts, ask yourself: ☑️ Is it my business? ☑️ Is it important? ☑️ Has anyone asked for my input? ☑️ Am I trying to help—or just speak? ☑️ Am I speaking from love?
