Beyond The Speech
Do you honestly think that all the highly successful people with great businesses and books and youtube channels out there with their productivity hacks, they have it all figured out? Do they never feel down and just want to lay in bed all day watching Netflix and eat Cheetos with 1 hand and gulping a drink in another? Do they really follow all the hacks that they talk about in their books and really squeeze productivity out of their day and consistently perform at their peak? Do they feel nice? Well, you are in the right place.
I am starting this podcast out of a deep-seated curiosity and a desire to learn from…..everyone. As someone constantly seeking to improve myself, I found myself drawn to the stories and strategies of those who have achieved any type of success in their respective fields.
So this podcast is about those stories. The books that I read, what I learnt from them, Readers, authors, productivity gurus, or just a random stranger on social media who might be able to help ME level up and in doing so, help you.

#33. How Not Speaking Up Is Stealing Your Life w/Colette Fehr
What does it really cost you to stay quiet?
In this episode of Beyond the Speech, I sit down with Colette Feir, author of The Cost of Quiet, to talk about the invisible price we pay for not speaking up — in our relationships, our careers, and our sense of self.
Many of us learned early that being “easy,” “nice,” and “low-maintenance” kept us safe. But that silence slowly turns into resentment, burnout, and a feeling that we’re living someone else’s life.
Colette breaks down:
- Why people-pleasing feels safer than telling the truth
- How staying quiet erodes confidence and self-respect
- The emotional and psychological cost of not using your voice
- What it actually takes to start speaking up — without becoming someone you’re not
This isn’t about being louder.
It’s about being honest.
If you’ve ever swallowed your feelings, avoided conflict, or stayed quiet to keep the peace — this conversation will hit close to home.
