Have you ever given everything in a marriage… only to lose yourself in the silence?

That’s where I was. Silent in the arguments. Silent in the finances. Silent even in the bedroom when intimacy felt more like obligation than connection. And I thought staying quiet was keeping the peace, but really, it was breaking me.

In this episode of Unrestrained Boldness, I’m pulling back the curtain on what silence really costs in a relationship. I’ll share the funny moments (like the night I burned the rice and smiled through it), the heavy moments (ignoring 15 back-to-back calls just to breathe), and the breaking point where I finally chose life over silence.

If you’ve ever stayed quiet because speaking up felt too risky, too exhausting, or too costly, this conversation is for you. Because silence doesn’t just keep the peace, it erases people.

Listen in and let’s talk about what it means to stop pretending, start speaking up, and find freedom in boldness.

Some of what I share here you’ll also find in my upcoming book, Five Undone: Rising Beyond the Ashes (coming December 2025).

Don’t wait for silence to break you. Break it first.
