Silence doesn’t protect you — it disconnects you. And the longer you hold it in, the heavier it gets.
In this first episode of Unrestrained Boldness™, I open up about the hidden cost of staying quiet — at work, at home, and even with yourself. I share the story of sitting in a meeting knowing the numbers were wrong but saying nothing, and the unforgettable day my boss asked me to “take out her trash” right after I finished my project early, on budget, and ahead of schedule. Moments like these made me shrink, not because of the task, but because I silenced my own worth.
You’ll also hear how silence follows you into your home life, your leadership, and your inner dialogue — piling up like trash until it weighs you down. And most importantly, you’ll walk away with a bold reminder: silence doesn’t erase the problem, it just delays it. And you don’t have to keep carrying it.
What you’ll take away from this episode:
Why silence feels safe in the moment but costs you more in the long run.
How silence in leadership can stamp “burnout” across your entire team.
Why we fight for others but go quiet for ourselves — and how to break that cycle.
A simple challenge you can try this week to speak up when silence feels easier.
