Happy New year everyone and Welcome to Season 3 of the Truth & Freedom Podcast. where awakening begins with asking the questions most people are afraid to ask. I’m your host, Dr. Dan Amzallag — and this is not just another podcast. This is a journey into awareness, courage, and truth.

Today we’re starting with a topic that sits at the heart of every personal transformation, every breakthrough, and every moment of real growth: the truth. Not the filtered truth, the comfortable truth, or the version we tell ourselves to avoid discomfort—no. I’m talkingabout the kind of truth that liberates you. The truth that sets you free. And yet, ironically, it’s often the last thing we’re willing to face.

I want you to imagine holding a beach ball underwater. At first, it seems manageable. You push down, you apply pressure, you keep it submerged. But the longer you hold it there, the more exhausted you become. Your arms ache, your shoulders tighten, and the moment you loosen yourgrip even a little, that ball shoots right back up. This is what happens when we suppress truth—about our relationships, our mental health, our habits, ourpatterns, our fears. We spend so much energy keeping the truth underwater that we don’t realize how much it's draining us.
