The Art Of Coaching

E385 | Tips for Saying What Matters Before It's Too Late


Listen Later

Nothing will haunt you like the things you leave unsaid.

It’s a bold statement, and a chilling one—but unfortunately, most of us know exactly how true it is.

You owe it to them and to yourself to speak the truth about what they mean to you. No matter the regrettable things you’ve said or done to each other... the failures, the absences, the apologies never given, or the love you didn’t express—it needs to get out.

We’ve covered a wide range of topics since launching this podcast, but this one stands out as an evergreen.

It’s a conversation that will withstand the test of time and deeply resonate with YOU.

In this episode, Brett shoots straight from the heart and will explain:

  • Why we often don’t say what needs to be said—how assumptions, pride, and fear keep olive branches from growing
  • The danger of “safe” silence—and how it can quietly grow into full-blown regret
  • How to make sure you’re not leaving yourself out of the conversation by silencing your own positive affirmations
  • A practical strategy to turn that charged cluster of emotions and thoughts into something meaningful (SPOILER: Just say it messy!)
  • Setting clear expectations and staying grounded in case the message isn’t received the way you hoped
