About the reading:

*Embark on a journey of self-discovery and radical honesty with Jen Howk in **Truth Be Told**. This book navigates the treacherous terrain of human consciousness and the raw reality of personal transformation. On the other side of “The Crappening,” a dark night of the soul, Howk emerges with a field guide to challenging life’s most enduring fears and addictions.*

In this unflinching memoir and self-help guide, Howk confronts the lies we tell ourselves and others, challenging readers to embrace truth as a powerful tool for personal freedom. Drawing inspiration from Carl Jung and intertwining philosophical, academic, and clinical insights, Howk reveals the hidden forces that shape our lives and offers a roadmap for those seeking authenticity and genuine self-worth.

***Truth Be Told*** *is an invitation to dismantle the facades that imprison us and to live courageously in the light of truth. Whether you are grappling with self-doubt, addiction, or the scars of past traumas, Howk’s candid narrative and practical wisdom will inspire you to reclaim your true self and transform your life.*
