Hope Mangiafico (00:00)
Wow, that ending was great. I loved that.
Nikki Humphrey (00:03)
I forgot I even wrote those questions, because I started this last night and I was tired and then I went back to it today. So I don't know, that must have been a last night.
Hope Mangiafico (00:07)
Mm-hmm.
Yeah, but the questions were great. like, even your concluding statement was so good. ⁓ Like talking about how he's the author, he's already good, so we don't need to do things to try and change our story, make it sound better. Yeah, that was just, I don't know, really solid and concise.
which always packs ⁓ a punch really powerfully.
Nikki Humphrey (00:46)
And you know, I was thinking about when you were talking at one point in the episode, I never said it. So this is a good place to put it on the overflow. It's like when we live a life of honesty or going back and fixing times where we may have deceived or left out or partial truth. And we, we do that. It becomes normal for people to do that. And I think so many people.
You know, me included want this perfect curated picture out there of things. And like, we don't show all of the messy work that we do or, you know, when we are ⁓ confronted with something that we might need to clean up. But if we just did that and let other people know that it wouldn't be so such a scary place to be.
Hope Mangiafico (01:17)
Hmm.
Hmm. Well.
That's the truth. And on top of that, it makes me think about if you get into the more weird, if everything like carries some sort of energy, then that means lies do the energy around it. And so naturally you're going to bring negative in. So whatever that might manifest as, as people outside of you become more negative, whatever, but also making every everything that resonates at that to match it. So it's like, that's like the more like kind of out there.
part, but it manifests itself as exactly like you're saying, it becomes normal.
What's coming to mind as you're talking about not putting everything out there is there's a time and a place for everything. And a lot of people are like, we'll use social media as an example. like, you don't put your junk out there for the world and that's not wrong. So it's like, what is that happy medium of being transparent and showing people that it's okay to struggle without? This is the problem with social media because for you to do that, you got to post up your phone.
Nikki Humphrey (02:32)
Mm-hmm.
Hope Mangiafico (02:45)
be ready to record, that's the problem. So it's like in today's world, as you said, we talked about before about social media, everything coming to light. How do you put it out there authentically? Well, because at the end of the day, doing this just loses a little bit of authenticity naturally.
Nikki Humphrey (03:05)
So I'm thinking more of like interpersonal connections, like in our everyday. So like when I was teaching the girls and I was like, that's not quite right.
Hope Mangiafico (03:08)
Okay.
Yeah, I got you.
Nikki Humphrey (03:14)
I think we need to like, train up a nation to just be like, when you catch yourself, be accountable in the moment and keep moving forward.
Hope Mangiafico (03:25)
Yeah.
For sure. And I guess I went to social media because so many people are on social media and even like our average people, not influencers, posting things and it's always a highlight reel, which has been preached, ⁓ like how it's always a highlight reel, but at the same time, the people that are maybe more acquaintances, they see that and it's of course an inner heart issue.
to be watching that and maybe envy stirs up or jealousy or whatever, but we all have responsibility, whether we're the receiver of the information or the poster, ⁓ to just throw on a lens. Like what's our heart posture when we post it, when we're reading it, as you've talked about a ton, when you give examples of seeing things on social media. ⁓ We have to be mindful of that.
And then of course, yeah, the more like one-on-one interactions are major. And at the end of the day, it all really kind of starts there. Cause if you can't be honest with the people right in front of your face and yeah, it's never gonna translate to the internet. But it's like everyone, yeah, no, it's true. It just, I guess I went to social media because now people from such a young age all the way to their eighties and nineties are on social media.
Nikki Humphrey (04:36)
That's bigger problem.
Yes. And I think too, it's like if people come back and just want to like, like our episode, episode, clear the air, you know, that's taking some radical accountability and honesty of past behaviors and things like that. I mean, you can do it in a way that it doesn't, it's not cheesy, not fake.
Hope Mangiafico (05:14)
Yeah,
right. Yeah.
Nikki Humphrey (05:17)
Not
just coming like as a human. I'm a human. make mistakes. I've made some bad choices and
taking accountability for it.
Hope Mangiafico (05:27)
Mm-hmm. Yeah, for sure. That's true.
Nikki Humphrey (05:30)
I people can discern a heartfelt accountability or just like, I'm just doing this to move forward.
Hope Mangiafico (05:41)
was literally almost about to say that in different words of like, hopefully
as we all continue to grow, our discernment grows ⁓ when we see things and when we also put it out as well. So that's exactly what I was going to say.
That's good.
