You were never meant to hide
What if living faithfully didn't mean hiding the parts of yourself that make you who you truly are?
I'm inviting you to explore faith, identity, and what it means to live honestly and confidently as yourself in Christ
- alongside other women figuring it out, too.
A space for honest stories, thoughtful exploration and shared journeys.
Somewhere along the way, we learn to hide.
We learn to be good. To meet expectations. To keep the peace. To give generously, say yes, and to not disappoint anyone.
Sometimes, we get so used to being who everyone needs us to be that we lose sight of who we are.
And then we begin to wonder what we want, what matters to us, or whether something in our lives needs to change. We feel selfish. Ungrateful. We wonder whether asking these questions means our faith isn't strong enough.
I've wrestled with these things myself.
And I wonder how many of us quietly carry similar questions, thinking we're the only ones.
What does it mean to BE TRUE?
Faithful to Christ.
Honest about who we are.
We can grow to be more like Christ without losing sight of the person God created us to be.
In fact, becoming more like Jesus helps us become more fully ourselves too.
Being True is a space to explore that question - to ask honest questions, to challenge the expectations we've absorbed, to share stories of the highs, the lows, and the messy in-betweens, and to discover what it means to live with greater authenticity, freedom, and courage.
I don't have it all figured out. We likely won't reach the same conclusion of what 'being true' means because we're all different persons. The process is likely going to be messy and time-consuming.
But I believe the journey is worth taking - and it's a lot better when we don't have to travel alone.
You are welcome here, neighbour.
There's more than one way in.
Read and reflect
Explore personal stories and reflections on faith, identity, relationships, and the everyday moments that teach us something about ourselves and God.
Stuff worth sharing
Books that stay with me, podcasts that make me think, and people whose work has helped me see things differently. Here are a few things I've found helpful on my own journey of faith and becoming.
Go deeper with coaching
Coaching provides a more private setting to explore your own questions, reconnect with you who are, and take your next steps with courage.
Hi, I'm Amy.
I'm a woman learning, like you, what it means to live truly, faithfully, and honestly.
I'm a follower of Jesus, a wife, a mum, a writer, a coach, a speaker, an instructor, and someone who has spent a fair bit of time thinking about the expectations we carry and the people we believe we're supposed to be.
Being True is a sanctuary that grew out of my own desire to live authentically with greater freedom in Christ; and my curiosity about what might happen if more of us could speak honestly about that journey.
I'm not here because I've arrived. I'm here because I believe there's value in exploring these things together.
Being True is a sanctuary
Come as you are.
No judgment. No guilt. No shame.
You don't need a mask, a polished story, a plan, or all the answers. Bring your questions, your curiosity, your doubts, and your mess. Whatever part of the journey you're on, you are welcome here.
