About this episode
This episode discusses the personal costs of avoiding conflict and the importance of asserting one's voice and boundaries.
You bite your tongue. Let it go. Keep the peace. Someone crosses a line, and you don't mention it. Someone makes a decision that affects you, and you just go along with it. Because it's easier. Because you don't want conflict. But keeping the peace is costing you something. Your voice. Your boundaries. Your sense of self. Let's open this box as we Calm it Down in 3... 2... 1.
