How many truths have been buried because someone was too afraid of the consequences of speaking up?

I can’t help but think about all the survivors and victims who DO speak up…Do you think they were “fearless?”

NO FU***NG WAY.

Of course they were scared. But some spoke up anyway. Because the fear doesn’t disappear.

Your hands can shake. Your voice can tremble. People can judge, threaten, misunderstand and call you selfish.

And you can STILL use your voice.

I’m not here to make everyone comfortable.
I’m here to make uncomfortable conversations possible.
And I’m here for a reckoning with the silence we’ve mistaken for peace. 🔥

I’m writing my second book, Lies We Inherit, exploring a question: How do we tell the truth without losing ourselves or the people we love?

📖 My story began in “Trust the Flames” - my first book. If this resonates, supporting my first book helps me bring the next one into the world.

What we don’t speak, we store.
Who’s here for the reckoning? 🔥

😫 When someone says “We need to talk” does your body shake, your voice tighten, and your heart race?

Mine STILL does.

Growing up, conflict NEVER felt safe. So my nervous system learned:

👉 Conflict = threat
👉 Speaking up = unsafe
👉 Staying silent = safety

But here’s what I’ve learned:

Telling the truth doesn’t mean your hands won’t shake.

Speaking up doesn’t mean your voice won’t tremble.

And courage doesn’t mean the absence of fear.

Just because something feels uncomfortable doesn’t mean you’re unsafe. And just because something feels scary doesn’t mean it’s wrong.

This is why I’m developing my ✨TRUTH Method: to help us trust ourselves, regulate our bodies, understand what we’ve inherited, tell the truth, and heal the patterns that kept us silent.

The goal isn’t to stop the fear

It’s to stop letting fear decide when we get to speak.

What we don’t speak, we store. ❤️

Ever wondered, “Why am I STILL not getting better?” despite doing all the work?

Your thoughts influence your emotions, behaviours and actions. And sometimes, the patterns keeping you stuck are the very ones your brain believes are keeping you safe.

In 🎙️Episode 62 “Is self-sabotage is actually self-protection? “🧠 of the Inner Self-Confidence Podcast, I’m joined by DR. RACHEL GOLDMAN | PhD PSYCHOLOGIST | SPEAKER | AUTHOR psychologist and author of “When Life Happens”, who has been featured on Oprah , The Mel Robbins Podcast and NBC News .

We explore how our thoughts can create cycles of self-sabotage, how Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) helps us recognise and challenge those patterns, and why awareness is only the beginning of real change.

Because sometimes what looks like self-sabotage is actually an old form of self-protection that no longer serves you.

I can reflect on HOW I used my voice (and LEARN from it) without regretting that I used it.

Speaking up is rarely comfortable and often we get it wrong. But silence isn’t always the answer either.

Your voice matters. How you use it matters, too. ❤️‍🩹

🥹I cried watching all three of these films because of the courage these women have!

Imagine knowing something is terribly wrong, having evidence of it, and knowing that exposing it could cost you your career, your reputation, your relationships, your freedom or even your safety.
And speaking up anyway.

✨Katharine Gun challenged governments.
✨ Frances Haugen challenged Big Tech.
✨ Christine Marie and husband Tolga Katas helped expose horrific abuse hidden behind religious authority.

Different women. Different circumstances. One thing in common…they refused to let powerful people decide what the rest of us deserved to know.

We love to celebrate courageous women once the documentaries are made and the truth comes out.

🤔But what about BEFORE they’re vindicated?

When they’re being questioned, intimidated, discredited or told to keep their mouths shut?

That’s the part that gets me.

Telling the truth isn’t always rewarded.
Sometimes it’s punished.

And yet, without people willing to risk something for the truth, how much wrongdoing would remain hidden?

What we don’t speak, we store. And what we refuse to expose, we allow to continue.

🎉🫶Here’s to the women who refuse to be silenced.

Have you watched any of these three? Which other female whistleblowers deserve recognition? 👇

I don’t talk about this story much and it wasn’t even in my first book, but it’s a big one for me I’ll never forget.

Months before my mom was diagnosed with cancer (November 2010) we weren’t speaking because I said something to her face that everyone else was saying behind her back.

Was my timing perfect?
No.
Was my delivery perfect?
Absolutely not.

Back then I didn’t have the maturity or capacity.

I was reactive.
And so was she.

For years, I thought speaking up was the problem.
It wasn’t.

The problem was I didn’t have the skills to stay regulated enough to have a difficult conversation well.

Emotional regulation is a skill.
Nervous system capacity is something you can build.

And learning how to say what you want, when you want, in a way that aligns with your values—is a skill too that we can all learn.

I can’t believe this is coming from someone who dreamed of being a motivational speaker since they were young (and still) do!

🎤I want to stand on a stage, share my story and inspire/ empower someone. And now I’m starting to feel a little disheartened by the industry I once dreamed of being part of.🫣

We have more motivational speakers, wellness influencers, life coaches and self-help gurus than ever before.

Everyone is talking about making an “IMPACT.”

But are we?

I’ve watched people preach authenticity while carefully curating an image. Talk about kindness while treating people poorly behind closed doors. Encourage others to live in alignment while seemingly struggling to practise what they preach.

And listen, I’m not suggesting anyone needs to be perfect. F**k, I’m certainly not.

We’re all human, learning and going to get things wrong. But there’s a difference between being imperfect and being out of integrity.

And I can’t help but wonder when we started confusing popularity with credibility, followers with influence and standing ovations with actual transformation.

Because making someone feel inspired for 60 minutes is one thing. Helping someone make meaningful changes in their life is another.

I still believe in the power of storytelling and one person sharing their truth / story can change someone’s life. Reading memoirs is what helped me stay sane when I was young!

That’s why I started doing this in the first place.

But I’m becoming less interested in how many people we reach and more interested in what happens AFTER the applause.

When the lights go down and there’s no audience watching.Because to me, impact isn’t just what you say on stage. It’s how you live when you step off it.

Speaking your truth doesn’t mean you speak up all the time.

In fact…
you may start speaking less.

Less reacting, explaining and less trying to be understood by people committed to misunderstanding you.

💥🎤Your power isn’t in being loud…it’s in being intentional.

You become so damn selective
with your energy, your attention, your words…
because you finally understand:
your time is fu***ng expensive!

Not everyone deserves access to you.
Not every situation deserves a response.
Not every opinion deserves your energy.

And that’s not avoidance.
That’s inner self-confidence.

What happens when we stop seeing people as human beings and start seeing them as symbols of everything we believe is wrong with the world?

Domestic violence. Postpartum depression. Gambling. Sexism. Mental illness.

These are complex social issues. But it’s much easier to turn someone into a hero or villain than to have an uncomfortable conversation about the bigger picture.

🎙️Episode 61 of the Inner Self-Confidence Podcast, psychologist Ilia | Psychologist & Coach and I explore moral typecasting, virtue signalling, the psychology of good versus evil, and why we’ve become so quick to judge and so reluctant to understand.

Can we have empathy without excusing behaviour? Can we hold people accountable without dehumanising them?

This is already one of my most-listened-to episodes in months, and I think I know why.

We’re craving conversations that go beyond black and white. Because most of life happens in the grey.

Thank goodness I have a somewhat healthy sense of self. 😂

And I’d be lying if I said some of these comments didn’t sting a little. They do! I’m human.

After sharing my story on Everyone Has An Ex podcast let’s just say not everyone was a fan 🫣 and I’m sharing these comments for a reason.

💪Vulnerability is a muscle. And like any muscle, it gets stronger the more you use it.

That doesn’t mean rejection stops hurting or that criticism suddenly rolls off your back.

It means you learn not to let other people’s opinions determine whether your story deserves to be told.

Here’s the thing about sharing your story:
🙅‍♀️Not everyone will like you, understand you OR agree with how you remember or experienced something.

I still get nervous, my voice still shakes, I still cringe when I listen back … but if you don’t use it, ya lose it!

✨So here’s your reminder:
There’s no such thing as “fearless” - You just have to decide that your voice matters more than everyone’s approval.

Grateful for the opportunity to share another chapter of my life - thank you GEORGIA LOVE and Linda Scott
