Erin and Erica agree about a lot of things, but this cliche isn’t one of them.

Whether you attribute it to Brené Brown, Melissa Hartwig, or somewhere else in the wellness-industrial complex, “Clarity is kind” is THE cliche where they don’t see eye to eye.

Erica gets real about her baggage when it comes to this cliche (spoiler: that baggage has three luscious layers), and Erin does her best to persuade her back into seeing it in a positive light.

Reviews help, but your weird, wild, or painfully familiar cliches are the real gold.

In this second installment of cliches they love and live by, Erin and Erica reveal the traits that make a cliche worth keeping.

The TLDR version: "Done is better than perfect," "Gotta start somewhere," "Your vibe attracts your tribe," "The road to hell is paved with good intentions," "Tell the story only you can tell," "Don’t put all your eggs in one basket," "Pray on your knees, act with your feet," "How you do anything is how you do everything," and "Try anything twice."

Whether you’re a perfectionist-in-recovery or just someone tired of surface-level advice, this conversation gives you permission to ditch the advice that doesn’t work and trust what actually moves you forward.
