This is why I am here:
"Thank you for this, truly. Your honesty cuts straight to the heart of something I needed to hear, and I deeply appreciate that you cared enough to share it.
You’re absolutely right in that there’s a part of me that tries to balance depth with accessibility, and perhaps I’ve been holding back because I fear overwhelming or alienating anyone. But your words remind me that people are hungry for authenticity and truth, even when it’s raw or challenging!
You’ve given me permission to show up more boldly, and I’m grateful for that! I want this group to feel like a space where we can explore those deeper truths unapologetically, without the need to soften them for comfort’s sake."
