What Do You Really Mean When You Say, "I AM FINE"

 

Do you know that “I am fine” is the most told lie in the English language? It is usually used when someone is, in fact, not fine but they say “I am fine” because they don’t want to burden others and it’s easier to explain than what’s wrong, would you agree?

F.I.N.E is said to stand for “Feeling Insecure, Neurotic and Emotional”, and can also be “Feeling I’m Nothing to Everyone” or “Feeling Inadequate, Needing Encouragement”. Whatever your definition of FINE may be most of us would just lie and say “I am FINE”, because it’s an easy way out.

Then why do we say “I am fine” when clearly, we’re not:

  • Not sure of what you really feel
  • Pretending to be okay
  • To avoid conflicts
  • Scared to tell what you're really feeling

 

Only those who identify with these feelings can truly understand the agony behind the words “I am fine.”

The next time someone asks how you are, think about the response you’re already anticipating. What if we didn’t settle for “fine”? What if we stop, take a moment, and answer with true sincerity how I’m doing? Or better yet, tell them how you’re feeling. We could all benefit from slowing down and honestly evaluating how we are doing.

When Fear Breaks You, Freedom Awaits: A Story of Courage and Rebirth with Kate Edwards

 

 

What if the fear that once broke you could become the catalyst for your greatest freedom? In this deeply moving episode of The Billy Boss Show, Kate Edwards courageously shares her raw and inspiring journey from heartbreak and abuse to healing, empowerment, and transformation.

Kate opens up about falling in love with the wrong person and enduring years of emotional and financial abuse that left her questioning her worth and feeling trapped. But in the midst of pain and fear, she found the strength to walk away from what was familiar—choosing her autistic son, her peace, and her purpose above all else.

This episode takes you through Kate’s powerful process of rebuilding her life from the ground up. She reveals how she confronted her fears head-on, embraced vulnerability, and rediscovered her self-worth. Through intentional healing practices, supportive community, and unwavering self-love, Kate reshaped her identity and created a life of freedom and fulfillment.

Kate’s story is a testament to the power of resilience and the courage it takes to choose yourself—especially when it feels scary, messy, or uncertain. This conversation is raw, real, and profoundly relatable for anyone who has ever felt silenced, lost, or unworthy.

If you’re ready to reclaim your voice, break free from the past, and rise stronger than ever, this episode is for you.
