Most people talk too much—and it’s costing them trust.

In this episode of The Elevated Edit, Blaklee gets real about what she's learning in this season of sharpening: that saying less takes more effort, more clarity, and more courage. From Chatty Cathy tendencies to podcast pacing and room-reading at high-level events, this episode is a behind-the-scenes look at why strategic silence and curiosity are your greatest tools for building credibility in conversations, content, and coaching.

You’ll learn:

– Why over-talking signals insecurity (and how to fix it)

– The power of asking better questions instead of proving yourself

– How podcasting has sharpened Blaklee’s communication in real life

– Why concise messaging makes you stand out in business and in the room

– How to practice “truth + evidence” and become the most magnetic person in the room

Whether you’re pitching, podcasting, or just trying to be a better listener—this episode is your reset.
