The Courage To Be 155: Speak Up Without Fear: Turning Silence Into Clarity
Have you ever stayed quiet when something hurt you, only to feel the resentment build inside?
Or maybe you’ve wondered if speaking up would cause more harm than good… so you swallowed your truth instead.
In this episode, I share a real story about making plans with a friend, how silence created assumptions and hurt feelings—and how choosing to gently speak up shifted everything. This isn’t about confrontation. It’s about clarity. Because when we stay silent, we collect resentments. But when we share honestly and with love, relationships deepen and heal.
If you’ve ever felt ghosted, overlooked, or afraid to voice your needs, this episode is your reminder: the people who love you can’t read your mind, but they do want to understand you. Speaking your truth is not a risk—it’s an act of love, both for yourself and for them.
