In this powerful opening episode, I share the untold story of how silence shaped my life — not just as a habit, but as a survival strategy. Growing up in a world where speaking the truth often came with consequences, I learned to keep quiet, play safe, and hide parts of myself to avoid conflict and rejection.

But over time, that silence took its toll.

In The Silence That Shaped Me, I reflect on the cultural, emotional, and personal reasons we choose silence over truth — and the price we pay for it. This episode is for anyone who’s ever bitten their tongue, held back their truth, or questioned if their voice really matters.
