Finding Your Voice – Part 2: What Do I Actually Feel?

Before you can speak your truth, you have to know what’s really yours to say.
So often, we go quiet or we say what we think people want to hear because it feels safer. We edit our words to avoid judgment, keep the peace, or make sure we’re still liked. But where does that leave our real feelings?

In this episode of Grappling In Thought, we dig into:

• How to tell the difference between what you actually feel and what you’re performing to fit in

• Why burying your feelings chips away at self-trust (and how to rebuild it)

• Real-life moments where you can start catching yourself in the act

• Simple tools to pause, check in, and lean on the “friend within” before you speak

🎯 Try This: Next time you feel that urge to nod, laugh, or agree just to make things easy, pause first. Check in with what’s really true for you even if you’re not ready to say it out loud yet. That’s where finding your voice begins.
