Why Waiting to Speak Up Always Makes Things Worse

We spend so much time waiting for the “perfect moment” to speak up — but the truth is, that moment rarely comes.

In this episode, I break down why delaying hard conversations only creates bigger problems, how to recognize when now is the right time, and a simple framework to help you decide when to speak and when to pause. You’ll learn the difference between a better time and a perfect time (spoiler: one doesn’t exist), plus a golden rule that can save you from saying something you’ll regret. If there’s a conversation you’ve been putting off, this episode is for you.

BONUS see if you can spot the nugget at the start of this episode before we dive in 😆
