Beating Around The Bush: Why We Do It and How To Stop

Ever catch yourself saying everything but what you really mean? Same. In this episode, I open up about my habit of beating around the bush—why I do it, how it’s held me back, and the tools I’m working on to speak more directly and confidently. This one’s real, reflective, and full of insights for anyone who’s ever danced around their truth.

In this episode I talk about:

• What “beating around the bush” really means (and how to spot it in yourself)

• Why we avoid direct communication: insecurity, people-pleasing, fear of reactions

• How it shows up in relationships, work, and day-to-day interactions

• Personal stories and therapy reflections that helped me connect the dots

• The emotional and physical toll of holding things in

• Practical tools to speak your truth with clarity and kindness

• Why saying less can actually help you say more
