EP32 - When Silence Costs Too Much

In this episode, we explore what happens when the things we don't say start to weigh us down.

Imagine a backpack. Every time you don't say something important, you drop a rock into it. Maybe you didn't tell your friend their joke hurt your feelings. Maybe you didn't tell your partner you felt left out. Each unsaid thing is another rock.

At first, you barely notice. But after weeks or months or years, that backpack gets really heavy and being around that person starts to feel tiring.

This episode looks at why we stay quiet when something matters, what it costs us, and how to start taking those rocks out one at a time. I share my own story of carrying conversations that never happened, and what changed when I finally started being honest.

Staying silent might look peaceful on the outside, but it usually means you're carrying too much on the inside.
