Episode Title: What If Saying It Out Loud Makes It Worse?

Episode Number: 57

Publish Date: 14 July 2025

Takeaways:

• It's totally normal to have a loud inner critic that says you're failing, and you're not alone in this struggle.
• We often fear that voicing negative thoughts might make them worse, but sometimes honesty is the best healing.
• Asking for help can feel like admitting failure, which is a tough pill to swallow in a culture obsessed with positivity.
• Speaking our truth requires context and connection; sharing struggles with a friend is different from posting it online.
• Words can build or destroy; it's all about how, when, and where we communicate our feelings.
• It's okay to feel not okay sometimes; acknowledging our struggles is part of being human.
