Have you ever held back from asking a question because you were terrified of looking stupid? In this episode, I dive into the life-changing power of "saying the hard thing"—whether that's asking the question you're afraid to ask or having the difficult conversation you've been avoiding.

I share two pivotal stories from my own career that completely transformed how I approach workplace communication. From not knowing what "ARs" meant for months at my first job to confronting a micromanaging boss who left me in tears, these experiences taught me that avoiding difficult conversations always costs more than having them.

Learn why the fear of what others will think keeps you spinning in unproductive loops, how to face your worst-case scenarios head-on, and why saying the hard thing is actually an act of self-respect. I'll walk you through the exact steps to prepare for difficult conversations and show you how speaking up creates authentic relationships and faster career growth.
