when (and how) should you speak up?

when is it okay to speak your mind? when should you bite your tongue? how do you account for the shades of grey on the spectrum in the middle? and what are the potential consequences of both?

in this episode of the inprocess podcast, i share about two stories (one personal and one professional) where i speak my mind freely (knowing it may be jarring to the recipient because it's not been the norm in our communication). both were led with the intention not to create conflict, but, instead, to find resolution, all the while being open to whatever outcome transpires.

i get really honest about the two voices in my head (rational mind versus taking things personally) and how i navigated those conflicting things.

i share about a practice i highly recommend that helped me (and can help you, too) to get to the root of a trigger and begin to heal it.

along with my co-host, kimberlin, we also discuss:

• how to tune into the connection between mind and body to understand the signals it's sending us

• facing the fallout or consequences of speaking up

• the downside to your well-being of not speaking up

• not letting the potential downsides or risks prevent you from speaking your truth (with thoughtful and constructive delivery)
