An Evolving Man Podcast
Speaking Up at the House of Commons: Fear, Courage & Choosing the Challenge Response | Piers Cross
In this short reflection recorded outside the House of Commons, Piers Cross shares a deeply personal moment before screening a documentary on institutional harm and child protection.
He explores:
- The fear of speaking up
- How trauma can wire us to avoid, hide, or run
- The shift from threat response to challenge response
- Why embracing discomfort can improve performance, resilience, and even longevity
Referencing research by Elizabeth Blackburn and Kelly McGonigal, this episode is a reminder that meaningful change often begins at the edge of fear — when we choose to stay, speak, and move forward anyway.
