I Was Taught to Stay Quiet. Then I Turned 30.
from I'm Jess Sayin · host Jess
I was taught to stay quiet. Then I turned 30. In this episode, I'm getting honest about something I've never fully said out loud — I was not set up to be in this space. I grew up in an environment where women didn't speak up. Not in public, anyway. You saved face. You expressed yourself behind closed doors, only to people you trusted, only when it was safe. And by the time I ever saw a woman speak up, it was through anger. Loud, unclear, and going nowhere. And I want to leave you with this: you don't need a platform for your voice to be heard. You are your own platform. Drop a comment — how old were you when you finally found your voice? And if you haven't found it yet, are you ready to do something about it? The road does not have to be clear in order for you to have clarity. 🤎
