Podcasts by Dr BB
'To Be Honest' with oneself and others is the most difficult thing for us humans. It is because, in order to be honest, we must be courageous enough to take a look into the dark side of our psyche and confront our weaknesses—and expose them openly to the world—which is what we are most afraid of. My intention is having 'To Be Honest' to fuel a community of like-minded listeners to dare To Be Honest. To empower and inspire us all To Be Honest—so we can find harmony within ourselves and create healthy loving relationships.
