Episode Synopsis

When did silence become something we were praised for?In this episode, we talk about the quiet ways women are taught to shrink—to be “low maintenance,” to be “understanding,” to keep the peace even when it costs us our voice. We explore where those lessons came from, who benefited from our silence, and whether staying quiet actually kept us safe… or just small.One of the most powerful invitations in this conversation is simple but confronting:Who gained from you not speaking up?That question alone can unlock years of clarity—and clarity is freedom.This episode is inspired by my book, 35 Is Not the Age to Go Quiet, which is designed to help you gently but honestly examine your patterns, your voice, and the moment in life when many women feel pressured to settle, shrink, or disappear. The truth is: 35 is not a decline—it’s a reveal. And no matter your age, you should never lose hope or settle for a smaller life than the one you’re meant to live.The book includes reflective activities, writing prompts, and grounding practices meant to help you reconnect with yourself, regain confidence, and move forward with intention. If you’ve ever felt like you’ve been carrying too much quietly, this work was made for you.🖊️ Grab your pen.📖 Grab the book.✨ Let this be the moment you start choosing yourself out loud.👉 Get the book here: https://a.co/d/5N88uIsAnd for even more peace, grounding, and reflection, stream music by Destiny Wells alongside your reading—it’s the perfect companion for slowing down and listening to yourself again
