Episode Synopsis

Think staying silent at work is the "professional" thing to do? Think again. In today’s episode, I’m breaking down how holding back your voice at work doesn’t just cost you opportunities — it drains your energy, damages your confidence, and even strains your relationships outside the office. Let’s talk about how to change that. This week, we’re digging into the hidden, and very real, cost of staying silent at work. If you’ve ever thought, "I’ll just get through the day" or "It’s not worth speaking up," you need to hear this. Silence at work doesn’t stay neatly tucked away. It builds into resentment, burnout, emotional exhaustion, and ultimately leads to you showing up as a lesser version of yourself - at work and at home. And the truth is, you deserve better. In this episode, you’ll learn: The invisible price you pay when you keep quiet to "keep the peace" What "resenteeism" is, and why it's a huge warning sign How resentment at work leaks into your personal life (and how to stop it) Practical examples of how to set boundaries at work without creating conflict Real-world scripts you can use today to advocate for yourself with calmness and clarity How pausing before you react helps you reclaim your emotional energy Why learning to reset your boundaries is a leadership move, not a selfish one Here’s the real cost of staying silent: It’s your confidence. It’s your energy. It’s your relationships. It’s your trust in yourself. Every time you override your own needs at work, you quietly chip away at your own sense of worth and wellbeing, and that shows up everywhere else in your life, too. You deserve to show up as the best version of yourself, not the burned-out, bitter, barely-holding-it-together version. If you're ready to stop just surviving the workweek and start reclaiming your voice, this episode will show you exactly how.
