Tell The Truth
A live salon series with Dr. Diana HillWe’re all trying to take the next step, but are we telling the truth about what’s really in the way?
Clinical psychologist and author of Wise Effort, Dr. Diana Hill, has spent over 15 years helping people get to the truth of things—through her clinical practice in therapy, the hundreds of thought leaders she’s coached and counseled, and as a mediation teacher exploring universal truths.
Now Diana wants to help you to find your truth by bringing that work to a live in-person salon series.
WHY THIS SERIES?Because real progress requires real attention (and real honesty).
In a world of conflicting opinions, disconnection, and performance, we’re flooded with advice yet hungry for conversations that are genuine and direct.Tell the Truth is not a lecture series. It’s not aanother how-to program. And it’s not a truth-or-dare party. It’s a startlingly intimate, delightfully unscripted salon series that examines what’s really happening in our lives, our bodies, our relationships, and our culture.
WHAT WE’LL EXAMINEThis series is about telling the truth.
In each session, Diana sits in conversation with a captivating innovator, thinker, or creative leader to ask intimate questions and invite honest answers. In her fearless yet disarming style she dismantles the lies we tell ourselves to bring a psychological perspective to the tensions that we are all grappling with.
Guests are invited to continue the conversation.
Together, we’ll tell the truth about…
-

Health
What it's really made of, beyond optimization, hacks, and performance
-

Creativity
How opening to beauty also means opening to loss
-

Intimacy
The truth that when we stop pretending, we get close
-

Livelihood
What our ambition is serving, and what it's costing us
ABOUT THE HOSTDr. Diana Hill
As a clinical psychologist, Diana has spent her career studying what helps people navigate pivotal moments with more courage, compassion, and flexibility.
Her work bridges psychological science, contemplative practice, and the question at the center of an examined life: where are we putting our energy?
Diana graduated summa cum laude from UC Santa Barbara and earned her PhD in Clinical Psychology from the University of Colorado Boulder in collaboration with Stanford University.
Today, Diana is a leading voice in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and compassion-focused approaches. She is the author of four books, host of The Wise Effort Show, and an international speaker, trainer, and advisor.
At the heart of her personal and professional work is a willingness to ask the questions we often avoid:
What is true here?
Where is our energy actually going?
What becomes possible when we tell the truth
