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.

Rising Above: A Deep Transformational Journey to Confidence & Resilience with Julia Mann

 

What if the moments that feel like your life is falling apart are actually preparing you for the life you’re meant to step into?

In this powerful episode of The Billy Boss Show, I sit down with entrepreneur, creator, and transformation mentor Julia Mann, who rebuilt herself from the inside out after experiencing both explosive success and a sudden, heartbreaking collapse of the business she spent years building.

Julia takes us behind the scenes of her most defining turning points, personally, professionally, emotionally, and spiritually. From scaling a seven-figure beauty brand, to losing almost everything during lockdown, to navigating anger, fear, self-doubt, and identity loss… this conversation is a masterclass in resilience, reinvention, and rebuilding your self-worth.

You’ll hear how Julia shifted from survival mode to emotional freedom, how she rebuilt her confidence brick by brick, and how deep inner work, self-compassion, spiritual growth, and healing past wounds allowed her to rise again with strength, clarity, and alignment.

If you’ve been navigating setbacks, identity shifts, or seasons that feel heavier than usual, this episode will help you reconnect with hope and recognise that every challenge carries an invitation to grow. Julia shows us what confidence looks like when it comes from within, not from numbers, revenue, validation, or external success, and why adversity often becomes the spiritual and emotional training ground we didn’t know we needed.

Inside this episode, you’ll learn how to:
• View challenges as gateways for expansion, not evidence of falling behind
• Build authentic self-worth that stays strong even when circumstances change
• Transform setbacks into emotional and spiritual turning points
• Reinvent yourself with confidence and step into a life and business that feel aligned
• Detach from comparison and perfectionism, and return to your own truth
• Shift from “pushing” to “allowing,” using inner healing to guide your next chapter

A little real talk…
So many women silently carry the weight of “having it all together,” even when everything inside them feels like it’s falling apart. Julia and I talk openly about the moments we broke down, the identities we lost, the fears we hid, and the pressure we felt to keep showing up. You’ll hear raw, honest insights about navigating motherhood while rebuilding yourself, letting go of who you thought you needed to be, and finding the courage to start again when life forces you to pivot. If you’ve ever felt behind, overwhelmed, or like you’re rebuilding from scratch, this part of the episode will make you feel seen, understood, and supported.

We also explore motherhood, identity, spiritual frameworks like Kabbalah, inner child healing, emotional regulation, resilience after failure, and what it means to become wiser, softer, and more grounded with age.

Tune into this episode and discover how to rise above setbacks, rebuild from the inside out, and create a life aligned with your soul, your values, and your highest self.

Questions to Dig Deeper (Inspired by Julia Mann)

  1. Where in your life are you “pushing through” when your heart is asking you to soften, surrender, or redirect?
  2. What recent setback or disappointment might actually be inviting you into a deeper level of growth, healing, or alignment?
  3. Which old beliefs about your worth, success, or identity are ready to be released so you can rise to your next level?
  4. Where do you need more compassion toward yourself, especially when you feel behind, overwhelmed, or not enough?
  5. If you trusted that everything happening right now is preparing you, how would you show up differently this week?
