I’m embarrassed to admit this even happened. Yet a recent appointment made it crystal clear: I am a people pleaser in an unexpected way, with unintended consequences for people I care about (not to mention myself!) Furthermore, I experienced in real time when it’s worth it to be uncomfortable for a moment, to save yourself hours of discomfort if you stay silent. We could call this: The one where my hair was accidentally died red (again) on a day I just happened to have a call with our community here and therefore I had the beautiful accountability to walk back in and show up better for myself. Links mentioned in this episode: The Elegant Excellence Journal is coming so soon. Make sure you’re on the waitlist to hear first!   Journal & discussion Q’s: When do you not speak up and why? When do you cause more discomfort for people close to you by doing so? What is and is not rude, or demanding, or high maintenance? What’s the story you/culture tells you, and what’s the neutral truth? What do you not think is that when a man does it but do when a woman does?
