Why lying is good for us  – a conversation with Liv Larsson In this episode, we meet Liv Larsson – mediator, author, and long-time teacher of Nonviolent Communication. With over two decades of experience exploring the emotional dynamics of conflict, Liv brings a nuanced and deeply human perspective to how we relate to ourselves and one another. This conversation invites us into a more intimate encounter with shame – not as something to fix or avoid, but as a doorway into deeper self-understanding and relational honesty. Together, we explore the subtle ways shame shows up in our lives, how it shapes our identities and interactions, and what becomes possible when we meet it with awareness, presence, and care. Rather than offering quick solutions, Liv shares stories and reflections that open space for inquiry – encouraging us to stay curious in the face of discomfort, and to see shame not as a personal failure, but as a signal that something deeply valued is at stake. For those drawn to inner work, relational depth, and the ongoing unfolding of self, this episode offers a grounded and compassionate exploration of one of our most vulnerable emotional experiences.

The old map says:emotions are peaks and valleys,storms and still waters.You must ride them out, tame them,keep your course toward clear skies.   The new map whispers:emotions are a language,woven from memories and possibilities.They do not point to the right or wrong path –they reveal who you are in meeting the world.   Freedom is not in feeling the right things,but in listening deeply,choosing consciously,and letting every feeling become a keyto a greater map than you’ve ever seen.      If you want to learn more about Liv’s work, upcoming trainings, or dive deeper into Nonviolent Communication, you’ll find her at www.friareliv.com.

The Friare Liv Podcast is a living conversation for those who sense that something deeper is possible – beyond autopilot, beyond the norms, beyond the noise.We explore conscious communication as a practice for inner freedom and outer transformation. Not as fixed answers, but as lived questions. In a world where old systems are cracking and relationships are being tested, we ask: How do we live truthfully in the midst of complexity? How can we be present, vulnerable, and powerful – all at once? This is for you who are done playing roles you no longer believe in. Who long to help shape a new way of being human – in connection with yourself, with others, and with a world in transition. This isn’t a podcast of final answers – but a space where new perspectives can emerge, where what aches is welcome, where what longs for change can speak, and where what is already moving in us might point the way forward. Let’s begin.
