These are the thoughts, secrets and reflections that often keep us awake at night. They're the things you might share with you best friend to help you make sense of it but more often than not we just keep them to ourselves. Not here :-)

Once you share it you realise that and you understand through sharing your struggles that other people have been there too and they often have a shortcut out of a situation.

"What's wrong?" "Nothing, I'm fine," I replied to my husband. "Are you sure, you were tossing and turning all night." "I'm fine," I repeated firmly. That was the first lie of the day, but I knew if I told him what I'd done he wouldn't be fine with it, so I saved him from it... And dear listener I will tell you about it next week... But today I'll just tell you about all the others lies... and why I've embraced lying.... Submission should be 1500 words in length sent to info@brainrest.com and if we like it we'll have it professionally recorded for you and broadcast on our platform.
