Episode 160 - Staying Quiet Is Already Jeopardizing Your Relationships

There’s one sentence I hear more than any other from the women I work with when we’re talking about hard conversations. It usually sounds like, I know I need to say something… but what if they get upset, what if they don’t like it, what if they push back? Underneath all of it is the same fear: what if I jeopardize the relationship? In this episode, we’re looking at where that fear comes from and how it’s really impacting your relationships, because resentment, anxiety, and disconnection don’t go away when you stay quiet; they just build over time. Here’s what I cover:Why the relationship is already being affected when you don’t say what’s trueThe different ways fear can show up when you have something difficult to sayWhy staying quiet creates an edited version of you in relationships instead of real connectionHow loneliness builds when you’re in relationships where you aren’t fully seen or knownA practical way to begin speaking up in your relationships, including a phrase to open the conversationFind Sara here:sarafisk.coachpages.sarafisk.coach/difficultconversationsinstagram.com/sarafiskcoachfacebook.com/SaraFiskCoachingtiktok.com/@sarafiskcoachyoutube.com/@sarafiskcoaching1333
