If you want to change your life, then you need to change yourself—not others.

Life is a fight—against fear, doubt, and the lies we tell ourselves. But real strength isn’t about avoiding the battle; it’s about stepping into the ring and confronting the tough conversations that hold the key to your growth.

In Truth Be Told: 15 Tough Conversations You Need to Have With Yourself, Christian ‘Mack’ Marchegiani shares his raw, unfiltered journey from a bullied, overweight teenager battling binge-eating disorders to becoming a respected coach, educator, and leader. From rebuilding after life’s setbacks to rediscovering faith, this book offers a roadmap for anyone ready to take ownership of their life.

Through 15 transformative conversations, you’ll learn how to:

• Face your past without being defined by it.
• Break free from destructive habits and cycles.
• Cultivate discipline, resilience, and self-respect.
• Find forgiveness—for yourself and others.
• Embrace purpose and faith to live a life of meaning.
