- 3:14peace
- 3:15in

- 3:24dynamics,
- 3:25she
- 3:25kept
- 3:25a
- 3:26cool
- 3:26face
- 3:26even
- 3:27when
- 3:27boundaries
- 3:27were
- 3:27being
- 3:28violated.
- 3:29And
- 3:29when
- 3:29I
- 3:29asked
- 3:30her,
- 3:30why
- 3:30don't
- 3:30you
- 3:30speak
- 3:31up?
- 3:31She

- 3:33want
- 3:33to
- 3:33come
- 3:33off
- 3:33angry
- 3:34or
- 3:34emotional
- 3:35or
- 3:35difficult.
- 3:37Listen,
- 3:38that's
- 3:39not
- 3:39just
- 3:39a
- 3:39personal
- 3:39fear.
- 3:40That
- 3:40is
- 3:40a
- 3:40generational
- 3:41pattern,
- 3:42a
- 3:42cultural
- 3:43one,
- 3:43a
- 3:44trauma
- 3:44response.
- 3:45So
- 3:46we
- 3:46worked
- 3:46on
- 3:46it,
- 3:47little
- 3:47by
- 3:47little.
- 3:48She
- 3:48started
- 3:49small,
- 3:50saying
- 3:50that
- 3:51actually
- 3:51didn't
- 3:51sit
- 3:51well
- 3:52with
- 3:52me,
- 3:53or
- 3:53I
- 3:54need
- 3:54a
- 3:54minute
- 3:54to
- 3:54think
- 3:55before
- 3:55responding.
- 3:56And.
- 3:57And
- 3:57I'd
- 3:57rather
- 3:58not
- 3:58commit
- 3:58to
- 3:58that
- 3:58right
- 3:59now.
- 4:00At
- 4:00first,
- 4:01she
- 4:01was
- 4:01nervous
- 4:02when
- 4:02she
- 4:02said
- 4:02it,
- 4:03but
- 4:03she
- 4:03still
- 4:03said
- 4:04it.
- 4:04And
- 4:05over
- 4:05time,
- 4:05her
- 4:06confidence
- 4:07returned.
- 4:08Not
- 4:08because
- 4:08she
- 4:08was
- 4:08louder,
- 4:09but
- 4:09because
- 4:09she
- 4:09was
- 4:10honest.
- 4:11That's
- 4:11the
- 4:11difference.
- 4:13Now,
- 4:13there's
- 4:14a
- 4:14few
- 4:14reasons
- 4:14why
- 4:15women
- 4:15stay
- 4:15quiet.
- 4:16So
- 4:16I
- 4:16want
- 4:16to
- 4:16name
- 4:17them.
- 4:17The
- 4:17first
- 4:17one
- 4:18being
- 4:18the
- 4:18fear
- 4:18of
- 4:19being
- 4:19labeled.
- 4:20I
- 4:20think
- 4:20we've
- 4:20all
- 4:20felt
- 4:21this
- 4:21at
- 4:21one
- 4:21time.
- 4:22Being
- 4:22labeled
- 4:23too
- 4:23much.
- 4:23Difficult,
- 4:24aggressive.
- 4:25We've
- 4:26heard
- 4:26it
- 4:26all,
- 4:26especially
- 4:27if
- 4:27you
- 4:27are
- 4:28a
- 4:28woman
- 4:28of
- 4:28color.
- 4:29And
- 4:29so
- 4:29silence
- 4:30becomes
- 4:30survival.
- 4:31Then
- 4:32there's
- 4:32fear
- 4:32of
- 4:32conflict.
- 4:33Some
- 4:33of
- 4:34us
- 4:34grew
- 4:34up
- 4:34around
- 4:34yelling,
- 4:35chaos
- 4:36and
- 4:36drama.
- 4:37So
- 4:37now
- 4:37we
- 4:37avoid
- 4:38anything
- 4:38that
- 4:39feels
- 4:39remotely
- 4:40confrontational.
- 4:41And
- 4:42then
- 4:42there's
- 4:42a
- 4:42fear
- 4:42of
- 4:42abandonment.
- 4:43You
- 4:44think
- 4:44if
- 4:44I
- 4:44speak
- 4:45my
- 4:45truth,
- 4:45they'll
- 4:46leave.
- 4:47But
- 4:47let's
- 4:47flip
- 4:47that.
- 4:48If
- 4:48you
- 4:49don't
- 4:49speak
- 4:49your
- 4:50truth,
- 4:51you're
- 4:51the
- 4:51one
- 4:52leaving
- 4:52you.
- 4:53And
- 4:54you
- 4:54deserve
- 4:54better
- 4:54than
- 4:55that.
- 4:56You
- 4:56deserve
- 4:57to
- 4:57live
- 4:57with
- 4:57integrity
- 4:58in
- 4:58yourself.
- 4:59To
- 5:00let
- 5:00your
- 5:00yes
- 5:00mean
- 5:01yes
- 5:01and
- 5:01your
- 5:02no
- 5:02mean
- 5:02no.
- 5:04To
- 5:04stop
- 5:04gaslighting
- 5:05yourself
- 5:05for
- 5:06other
- 5:06people's
- 5:06comfort.
- 5:09Now
- 5:10let
- 5:10me
- 5:10say
- 5:10this.
- 5:10I
- 5:11will
- 5:11make
- 5:11this
- 5:11very
- 5:12clear.
- 5:12Your
- 5:13voice
- 5:13is
- 5:14is
- 5:14not
- 5:14the
- 5:14problem.
- 5:15The
- 5:16world
- 5:16just
- 5:16hasn't
- 5:17learned
- 5:17how
- 5:17to
- 5:17receive
- 5:17women
- 5:18who
- 5:18use
- 5:18theirs
- 5:19fully.
- 5:20That
- 5:20doesn't
- 5:20mean
- 5:21that
- 5:21you
- 5:21silence
- 5:21it.
- 5:22It
- 5:22means
- 5:22that
- 5:22you
