baring all
Hiding absolutely nothing
Baring all means exposing everything, holding nothing back.
Literally, it refers to complete nudity: The actress bared all in the controversial film.
Figuratively, it means revealing one's deepest thoughts, feelings, or secrets: In the memoir, she bares all about her struggles with addiction.
The phrase suggests vulnerability through total exposure.
