What does it really cost you to stay quiet?

In this episode of Beyond the Speech, I sit down with Colette Feir, author of The Cost of Quiet, to talk about the invisible price we pay for not speaking up — in our relationships, our careers, and our sense of self.

Many of us learned early that being “easy,” “nice,” and “low-maintenance” kept us safe. But that silence slowly turns into resentment, burnout, and a feeling that we’re living someone else’s life.

Colette breaks down:

• Why people-pleasing feels safer than telling the truth
• How staying quiet erodes confidence and self-respect
• The emotional and psychological cost of not using your voice
• What it actually takes to start speaking up — without becoming someone you’re not

This isn’t about being louder.

It’s about being honest.

If you’ve ever swallowed your feelings, avoided conflict, or stayed quiet to keep the peace — this conversation will hit close to home.
