For a long time I believed staying quiet was the loving thing to do. Turn the other cheek, don’t confront, don’t make waves. In this episode I get honest about what that silence actually cost me, in my business, in my creative relationships, and in my own peace. I share the two sentences my therapist told me that changed how I think about every hard conversation I’ve ever had, starting with the idea that conflict is growth trying to happen. I also break down what communication actually is, the process of shared meaning, and why so much of what we call betrayal is really just two people who never got there. This is a personal one, about learning to speak the true thing even when your voice shakes a little. This is Make Belief. Turning the fear of speaking up into the courage of doing.
